Restoring Sycamore Creek: a volunteer-led project in Nakuru
A neighborhood-led restoration of Sycamore Creek needs $350 for saplings and equipment.

Sycamore Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 100 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $180
• Tools and protective gear: $50
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Nottingham.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Bakari?
