Clean air and water for Dayton: restoring Freedom Beach
Volunteers are restoring Freedom Beach in Dayton; $2,150 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇺🇸 Dayton, Ohio, United States2,537 views
Freedom Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 51 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 151 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $540
• Tools and protective gear: $740
• Waste removal and skip hire: $680
• Signage and educational materials: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.

stay strong, Kai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
