Plant 893 native trees around Cedar Creek in Liverpool
Help us clean and replant Cedar Creek before the September planting window closes.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,740 views
Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 36 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 181 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 $1,450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $600
• Tools and protective gear: $190
• Waste removal and skip hire: $400
• Signage and educational materials: $260
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Shawn. Looking forward to the next update.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
praying for you, Shawn. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Hope it all works out, Shawn. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
