Clean air and water for Nottingham: restoring Jacaranda Creek
A neighborhood-led restoration of Jacaranda Creek needs $1,700 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,903 views
Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 117 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 84 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $1,700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,350
• Signage and educational materials: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $275
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
