Restoring Liberty Creek: a volunteer-led project in Tampa
A neighborhood-led restoration of Liberty Creek needs $2,250 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇸 Tampa, Florida, United States1,457 views
Liberty Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 61 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 120 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 $2,250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $500
• Signage and educational materials: $195
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,555
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
