Restoring Union Creek: a volunteer-led project in Halifax
A neighborhood-led restoration of Union Creek needs $2,500 for saplings and equipment.
🇨🇦 Nova Scotia, Canada2,228 views
Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 95 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 103 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 $2,500 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $570
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Tools and protective gear: $680
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
