Pioneer Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 61 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 166 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $320
• Waste removal and skip hire: $240
• Native saplings and stakes: $540
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out, Charles. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Charles. Great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Take care, Charles. Hope this works out for you.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Cardiff.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
