Restoring Cedar Creek: a volunteer-led project in Thrissur
A neighborhood-led restoration of Cedar Creek needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Thrissur, Kerala, India1,126 views
Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 78 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 132 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $190
• Tools and protective gear: $50
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $40
