The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 70 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 $2,800 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,450 • Tools and protective gear: $250 • Waste removal and skip hire: $910 • Signage and educational materials: $190 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Liza
