Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 78 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 66 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,800 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $195 • Tools and protective gear: $390 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,215 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
