Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 95 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 77 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $1,300 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $600 • Tools and protective gear: $300 • Waste removal and skip hire: $300 • Signage and educational materials: $100 Thank you so much.

          Hope things get better soon, Andrzej. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Karachi

            Good luck, Andrzej. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Glasgow so I could bring a meal. Greetings from San Jose
