Restoring Baobab Creek: a volunteer-led project in Jeddah
Help us clean and replant Baobab Creek before the September planting window closes.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia723 views
Baobab Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 196 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $660
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $320
• Signage and educational materials: $170
Thank you so much.
