Restoring Acacia Creek: a volunteer-led project in Augsburg
A neighborhood-led restoration of Acacia Creek needs $2,150 for saplings and equipment.
🇩🇪 Germany273 views
Acacia Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 120 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 50 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,100
• Tools and protective gear: $590
• Waste removal and skip hire: $360
• Signage and educational materials: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Augsburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Dieter. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Keep going, Dieter. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Gangnam so I could bring a meal
Sending love, Dieter. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Katowice.
