Restoring Freedom Creek: a volunteer-led project in Grenoble
A neighborhood-led restoration of Freedom Creek needs $1,250 for saplings and equipment.
🇫🇷 France1,125 views
Freedom Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 79 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 62 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 $1,250 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $100
• Waste removal and skip hire: $710
• Tools and protective gear: $440
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Romain?
Thank you. If you're in Grenoble I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there, Romain. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
