Restoring Union Creek: a volunteer-led project in Nashik
Help us clean and replant Union Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India977 views
Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 30 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 163 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: $95
• Waste removal and skip hire: $55
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Karan. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
this could happen to any of us. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Kharkiv.
Praying for you, Karan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Laredo.
Sending strength, Karan. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Nashik
