The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 100 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 156 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $240
• Tools and protective gear: $85
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $45

Wishing you the best, Kavita. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Lansing
Hope things get better soon. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Kavita. Hope you get there. Don't give up. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Kavita. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
sending love. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
