Clean water and shade for Nashik: restoring Pioneer Creek
Help us clean and replant Pioneer Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇮🇳 India792 views
Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 77 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 147 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thank you all. We're at 55% now ($166). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for tools and protective gear is now scheduled.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 30% funded and I made the first payment toward waste removal and skip hire.
