Maple Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 53 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 128 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 $350 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $170
• Tools and protective gear: $105
• Signage and educational materials: $75

Wishing you peace, Dmitry. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Moscow.
