A neighborhood-led restoration of Liberty Creek needs $150 for saplings and equipment.

Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 105 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 172 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 $150 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
• Tools and protective gear: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

best of luck, Habtamu. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Knoxville.
You're not alone, Habtamu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Jimma
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Jimma.
