Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 73 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 131 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $165
• Tools and protective gear: $100
• Waste removal and skip hire: $200
• Signage and educational materials: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Rodrigo. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Cleveland so I could bring a meal. Love from Fresno
Hope it all works out, Rodrigo. Hope you get there.
Hope it all works out, Rodrigo. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Kanpur.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Jimma
Hang in there, Rodrigo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Warsaw donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Rodrigo. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
