Restoring the Liberty wetland: a volunteer-led project in Leeds
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Liberty wetland needs $1,750 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,249 views
The Liberty wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 129 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 $1,750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $700
• Tools and protective gear: $580
• Waste removal and skip hire: $340
• Signage and educational materials: $130
I hope life is good to you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($330 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Love from San Diego!
Thinking of you, Asher. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Leeds.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Wishing you the best, Asher. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Niterói.
