🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,580 views
Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 52 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 183 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 $1,750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $980
• Tools and protective gear: $210
• Waste removal and skip hire: $300
• Signage and educational materials: $260
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Emilia
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($273). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Birmingham: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $121 so far, I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts.
