Plant 1,100 native trees around Sycamore Beach in Eldoret
Help us clean and replant Sycamore Beach before the August planting window closes.
🇰🇪 Uasin Gishu, Kenya2,191 views
Sycamore Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 51 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 185 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $280
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $120
• Signage and educational materials: $5
