Plant 1,950 native trees around Freedom Creek in Kazan
Volunteers are restoring Freedom Creek in Kazan; $200 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇷🇺 Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia912 views
Freedom Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 120 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 173 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $200 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $30
With deep gratitude,
Ksenia

is there anything that isn't money that would help Ksenia?
Thank you. If you're in Kazan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Best of luck, Ksenia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in London this morning!
How is Ksenia doing now?
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Maringá.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending good thoughts, Ksenia. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ksenia.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. waste removal and skip hire comes first ($75) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
thinking of you and your family, Ksenia. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
sending love, Ksenia. Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Shinjuku
