Corpus Christi
The Jacaranda hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 118 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 173 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, including native species selected by a local botanist. The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade. All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $2,050 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $230 • Signage and educational materials: $260 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,560 Thank you so much.

      Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

        Good luck. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours.

        • Laura E. Álvarez

          good luck, Luke. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
