The Cedar riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 85 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 121 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $2,000 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,200 • Tools and protective gear: $220 • Waste removal and skip hire: $440 • Signage and educational materials: $140 Thank you for reading my story. - Andrea
