Restoring Freedom Creek: a volunteer-led project in Quezon City
Help us clean and replant Freedom Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇵🇭 1108, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines349 views
Freedom Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 32 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 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 $500 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $110
• Native saplings and stakes: $255
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
