Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 39 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 199 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Tools and protective gear: $30
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $30
Thank you so much.

Update from Bonny: I made the first payment toward native saplings and stakes. We're at 52% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
