Plant 3,950 native trees around Unity Creek in Hanoi
Help us clean and replant Unity Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam706 views
Unity Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 64 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 200 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $175
• Tools and protective gear: $40
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
how is Thu doing now?
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Polokwane
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hanoi.
Thank you. If you're in Hanoi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Thu. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal.
This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thu.
Native saplings and stakes is $175 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Thu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Great idea, hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Hanoi.
Thinking of you and your family, Thu. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from Kyiv.
Shared this with my family. Love from Busan.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. All the best.
