Restoring Pioneer Creek: a volunteer-led project in Derry
A neighborhood-led restoration of Pioneer Creek needs $2,200 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 Derry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom2,615 views
Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 139 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 $2,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,450
• Waste removal and skip hire: $530
• Signage and educational materials: $220
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Carol. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My husband and I read this together
Thinking of you, Carol. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carol
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $1,450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
thinking of you, Carol. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Best of luck, Carol. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Prayagraj!
