Maple Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 95 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 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 $3,050 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $2,000
• Tools and protective gear: $590
• Waste removal and skip hire: $370
• Signage and educational materials: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Zoey. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
