Plant 3,850 native trees around the Maple riverbank in Sacramento
Help us clean and replant the Maple riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇺🇸 United States395 views
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 43 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 $1,650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $590
• Waste removal and skip hire: $700
• Tools and protective gear: $360
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
