Restoring Union Creek: a volunteer-led project in Jakarta
Help us clean and replant Union Creek before the January planting window closes.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia385 views
Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 39 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 93 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $200 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $30
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
