Nizamabad
Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 118 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 44 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 $250 goes: โ€ข Native saplings and stakes: $90 โ€ข Tools and protective gear: $35 โ€ข Waste removal and skip hire: $90 โ€ข Signage and educational materials: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Shruthi
