The Upton Farm Trust, which manages a 55-hectare green space in Charlottetown, is facing a significant challenge as a culvert connecting the off-leash dog park has developed a sinkhole due to heavy rainfall. The trust is seeking $40,000 to replace this critical infrastructure, which is vital for proper drainage and preventing road washout. Despite receiving some funding from the provincial government, which amounted to $6,000 last year, the trust primarily relies on community support and volunteers. Since announcing its fundraising efforts on social media, the trust has successfully raised about $1,700. Heidi Hyndman, chair of the trust, emphasized that any contribution, no matter how small, would be appreciated, and they are also looking for volunteer labor to assist with the project. More information about the fundraising campaign can be found on their website and social media channels.
