Plant 1,200 native trees around Jacaranda Creek in Novosibirsk
A neighborhood-led restoration of Jacaranda Creek needs $600 for saplings and equipment.
🇷🇺 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia973 views
Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 36 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 40 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Signage and educational materials: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $255
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Liverpool so I could bring a meal.
