Plant 936 native trees around Freedom Creek in Townsville
Help us clean and replant Freedom Creek before the September planting window closes.
🇦🇺 Townsville, Queensland, Australia1,815 views
Freedom Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 84 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 129 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,050
• Tools and protective gear: $195
• Waste removal and skip hire: $390
• Signage and educational materials: $315
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hoa.
It's all in the list in the story. native saplings and stakes is the big one at $1,050, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Wishing you peace, Hoa. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Rooting for you, Hoa. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tuxtla Gutiérrez donated after I showed her your page. All the best
wishing you the best, Hoa. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Kilkenny.
how is Hoa doing now?
Wishing you peace, Hoa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Istanbul
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hoa?
Thank you. If you're in Townsville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Nottingham
Thinking of you and your family, Hoa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Tampa.
Hang in there, Hoa. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
