Harmony Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 36 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 80 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 $200 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $20
• Native saplings and stakes: $125
• Waste removal and skip hire: $55
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Frank. More neighborhoods should do this
Take care, Frank. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 39 people at work. Thinking of Tema.
