Restoring the Liberty wetland: a volunteer-led project in Belfast
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Liberty wetland needs $1,800 for saplings and equipment.

The Liberty wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 105 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 150 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 $1,800 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $430
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,150
• Signage and educational materials: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Belfast
More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Calamba this morning. Love from Calamba.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
You're not alone, Randall. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Accra.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Ankara this morning
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Faisalabad!
