Restoring Pioneer Creek: a volunteer-led project in Malang
A neighborhood-led restoration of Pioneer Creek needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇩 East Java, Indonesia503 views
Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 58 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 138 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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: $230
• Signage and educational materials: $40
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
