Restoring Liberty Creek: a volunteer-led project in Mandaue
Help us clean and replant Liberty Creek before the August planting window closes.

Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 94 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 133 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Signage and educational materials: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Sheila. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Istanbul.
Hope things get better soon, Sheila. More neighborhoods should do this.
take care, Sheila. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mandaue.
