Clean water and shade for București: restoring Lotus Creek
A neighborhood-led restoration of Lotus Creek needs $1,000 for saplings and equipment.
🇷🇴 Romania441 views
Lotus Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 31 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 159 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 $1,000 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $700
• Tools and protective gear: $175
• Waste removal and skip hire: $105
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.
