Plant 1,600 native trees around Baobab Creek in Osaka
A neighborhood-led restoration of Baobab Creek needs $1,750 for saplings and equipment.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Osaka, Japan2,184 views
Baobab Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 86 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,100
• Tools and protective gear: $160
• Waste removal and skip hire: $350
• Signage and educational materials: $140
Glad we found this place.

I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family, Yuna. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love, Yuna. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yuna.
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $1,100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
rooting for you, Yuna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Hang in there. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Osaka.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 20 people at work. Take care.
Stay strong, Yuna. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Osaka.
sending strength, Yuna. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.

Sending strength, Yuna. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Osaka.

Sending love, Yuna. More neighborhoods should do this.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Chattogram this morning.
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. All the best
Wishing you the best, Yuna. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Riyadh donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
