Restoring Maple Creek: a volunteer-led project in Móstoles
Volunteers are restoring Maple Creek in Móstoles; $1,500 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇪🇸 Madrid, SpainPosted Oct 1, 20261,574 views
Maple Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 43 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $1,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $610
• Tools and protective gear: $430
• Waste removal and skip hire: $380
• Signage and educational materials: $80
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Paloma. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Paloma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Lapu-Lapu
