Clean air and water for Caloocan: restoring Baobab Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Baobab Beach needs $550 for saplings and equipment.
🇵🇭 Philippines116 views
Baobab Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 67 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 73 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 $550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $250
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Waste removal and skip hire: $150
• Signage and educational materials: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.

you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 30 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
keep going, Neil. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 21 people at work. Blessings.
