Clean streets and rivers for Badagry: restoring Sycamore Creek
Help us clean and replant Sycamore Creek before the November planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world239 views
Sycamore Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 57 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 102 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $350 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Tools and protective gear: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Oluwaseun. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Good luck, Oluwaseun. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kampala.
Thinking of you. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Badagry.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 20 people at work. Blessings.
