Restoring the Harmony wetland: a volunteer-led project in Orlando

A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony wetland needs $2,850 for saplings and equipment.

The Harmony wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 65 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 55 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $2,850 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,800 • Waste removal and skip hire: $800 • Signage and educational materials: $250 Glad we found this place.
