Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 65 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 112 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $300 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $15 • Native saplings and stakes: $230 • Tools and protective gear: $55 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Dinda

  • Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Riyadh!

    • Thinking of you and your family, Dinda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

      • Sending good thoughts, Dinda. More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Bekasi.

        • Wishing you peace, Dinda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope December is when things finally get easier
