Plant 4,700 native trees around Pioneer Creek in Fresno

Help us clean and replant Pioneer Creek before the November planting window closes.

Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 63 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 72 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $2,200 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,100 • Tools and protective gear: $490 • Waste removal and skip hire: $610 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Angelo

Updates from Angelo

  1. Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($981). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward native saplings and stakes.

  2. We're at 23% thanks to 12 of you. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

    Best of luck, Angelo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care.

    • Daniela Ingrid Fernandes

      So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

      • Atim Faith Juma
