Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 45 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 180 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $2,650 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $550 • Tools and protective gear: $560 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,540 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
