Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 94 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 133 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 $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $135 • Tools and protective gear: $45 • Waste removal and skip hire: $125 • Signage and educational materials: $45 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best

    • So sorry you're going through this, Sheila. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Istanbul.

      • Hope things get better soon, Sheila. More neighborhoods should do this.

        • take care, Sheila. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

          • best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mandaue.
