Clean streets and rivers for Cardiff: restoring Jacaranda Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Jacaranda Beach needs $700 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom936 views
Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 50 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 $700 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $85
• Waste removal and skip hire: $365
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

It's all in the list in the story. tools and protective gear is the big one at $250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
