Restoring Sycamore Creek: a volunteer-led project in Surrey
A neighborhood-led restoration of Sycamore Creek needs $2,450 for saplings and equipment.
🇨🇦 Surrey, British Columbia, Canada1,603 views
Sycamore Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 38 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 81 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $2,450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,600
• Tools and protective gear: $220
• Waste removal and skip hire: $500
• Signage and educational materials: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.
