Restoring Pioneer Creek: a volunteer-led project in Kyiv
A neighborhood-led restoration of Pioneer Creek needs $400 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine853 views
Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 107 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 60 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $130
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Signage and educational materials: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Timur. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
