Help us clean and replant Baobab Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇺🇸 United States2,554 views
Baobab Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 49 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 94 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 $2,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,400
• Tools and protective gear: $270
• Waste removal and skip hire: $430
• Signage and educational materials: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Vadodara but we're thinking of you
Sending love, Samantha. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Comilla.
Sending good thoughts, Samantha. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal
Keep going, Samantha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Winnipeg donated after I showed her your page
