The Liberty hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 46 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 161 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 $250 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $75 • Tools and protective gear: $70 • Waste removal and skip hire: $100 • Signage and educational materials: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Parvin

            • Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
