Clean air and water for Kilkenny: restoring Pioneer Creek
Volunteers are restoring Pioneer Creek in Kilkenny; $2,550 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇪 Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland877 views
Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 119 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,500
• Tools and protective gear: $340
• Waste removal and skip hire: $510
• Signage and educational materials: $200
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending love, Barry. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Good luck, Barry. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Barry. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
