Clean streets and rivers for Caxias do Sul: restoring Unity Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Unity Beach needs $450 for saplings and equipment.

Unity Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 33 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 156 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $175
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $165
• Signage and educational materials: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
