Clean water and shade for Houston: restoring Liberty Creek
Help us clean and replant Liberty Creek before the August planting window closes.
🇺🇸 United States386 views
Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 171 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,150
• Waste removal and skip hire: $300
• Tools and protective gear: $300
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you and your family, Tyler. Great idea, hope you get there.
Stay strong, Tyler. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Houston
Hope it all works out, Tyler. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
You're not alone, Tyler. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Surrey.

Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Ankara this morning. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Houston.
Hang in there, Tyler. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up.
