Plant 2,050 native trees around Sycamore Creek in London
Help us clean and replant Sycamore Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,252 views
Sycamore Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 50 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 107 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 $1,300 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $165
• Tools and protective gear: $420
• Waste removal and skip hire: $715
