The Acacia canal cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew

Help us clean and replant the Acacia canal before the September planting window closes.

The Acacia canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 191 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 $1,800 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $760 • Tools and protective gear: $340 • Waste removal and skip hire: $490 • Signage and educational materials: $210 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Mia

Updates from Mia

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($354 in total) I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
