The Liberty canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 118 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $360
• Tools and protective gear: $560
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,130
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Randall. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hang in there, Randall. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Fortaleza
