Plant 4,100 native trees around Unity Creek in Pittsburgh
Help us clean and replant Unity Creek before the July planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States1,141 views
Unity Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 173 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $670
• Signage and educational materials: $180
• Waste removal and skip hire: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Jackson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Johannesburg.
Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'll check back for the next update
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We're a small family in Dresden but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Dresden.
Take care, Jackson. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Keep going, Jackson. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Da Nang so I could bring a meal.
