Restoring Jacaranda Creek: a volunteer-led project in Buenos Aires
Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇦🇷 Argentina1,983 views
Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 45 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 $550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Tools and protective gear: $125
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $85
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
hope it all works out, Emilio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Malang.
Sending strength, Emilio. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
