Harmony Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 159 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $2,850 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,350 • Tools and protective gear: $580 • Waste removal and skip hire: $820 • Signage and educational materials: $100 Thanks for reading all this.

    shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out

      More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Houston.

        This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Thinking of San Francisco.
