Acacia Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 39 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 120 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 $300 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
• Native saplings and stakes: $190
• Tools and protective gear: $45
With deep gratitude,
Jyoti

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jyoti.
Sure. The biggest one is waste removal and skip hire, $65. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Praying for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
