Baobab Creek cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew
A neighborhood-led restoration of Baobab Creek needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇭 Takoradi, Western, Ghana925 views
Baobab Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 124 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $160
• Tools and protective gear: $105
• Waste removal and skip hire: $55
• Signage and educational materials: $30
I hope life is good to you.
