The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 51 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 142 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $400 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $240 • Waste removal and skip hire: $85 • Signage and educational materials: $75 Thank you so much.

    • Hope things get better soon, Lwazi. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
