Help us clean and replant the Acacia riverbank before the December planting window closes.

The Acacia riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 56 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 107 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $590
• Signage and educational materials: $180
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,130
Every share and every dollar helps.

This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Gliwice.
Hope things get better soon, Caleb. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Sheffield
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
