Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 61 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 79 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $500 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $280 • Tools and protective gear: $80 • Waste removal and skip hire: $90 • Signage and educational materials: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Parvathi?

      Thank you. If you're in Mumbai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Take care, Parvathi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Nijmegen donated after I showed her your page. All the best
