Restoring the Union wetland: a volunteer-led project in Adelaide
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union wetland needs $1,700 for saplings and equipment.

The Union wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 119 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 $1,700 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $130
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Tools and protective gear: $320
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from La Plata
Thanks for sharing this, Brielle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Awka.
Wishing you peace, Brielle. Shared this with my family. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
praying for you, Brielle. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal. Love from Faisalabad.
more neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal.
