The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 97 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 104 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $260
• Signage and educational materials: $15
• Tools and protective gear: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Jigna. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Aberdeen.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
