Restoring Baobab Creek: a volunteer-led project in Sheffield
Help us clean and replant Baobab Creek before the May planting window closes.
🇬🇧 S16 2UX, Sheffield, England, United Kingdom670 views
Baobab Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 90 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 152 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,400
• Tools and protective gear: $145
• Waste removal and skip hire: $490
• Signage and educational materials: $115
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Dennis. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
