This is what my son and I do on Sundays, cleaning up part of a local park that hasn't seen a lot of love over the last 10 years or so.
Victory Creek Park:

We've been working on this over the summer, and we plan to clear all the blackberries and ivy, then plant some native Northwest shrubs.
Rather than raising funds and buying native plants, check with the county for native plant salvage events.
There is also Native Plant Salvage Alliance.
I would give you the links, but youtube blocks that.
