The Liberty riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 62 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $120
• Signage and educational materials: $40

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
