Plant 3,800 native trees around Union Creek in San Diego
A neighborhood-led restoration of Union Creek needs $2,300 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇸 California, United States868 views
Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 47 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 local forestry office, 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 $2,300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,650
• Waste removal and skip hire: $530
• Signage and educational materials: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
