Clean streams for London: restoring Acacia Creek
Help us clean and replant Acacia Creek before the November planting window closes.
Anywhere in the worldPosted Oct 1, 2026317 views
Acacia Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 53 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 43 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $490
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,350
• Tools and protective gear: $310
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thinking of you and your family, Ruth. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Ruth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Edinburgh.
