The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 169 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 $2,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $720
• Tools and protective gear: $460
• Waste removal and skip hire: $930
• Signage and educational materials: $90

you're not alone, Tomás. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Denver.
thinking of you and your family, Tomás. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Sydney.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt!
wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
