Clean streets and rivers for Flint: restoring Unity Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Unity Beach needs $2,500 for saplings and equipment.

Unity Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 35 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 175 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 $2,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,500
• Tools and protective gear: $420
• Waste removal and skip hire: $350
• Signage and educational materials: $230
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope things get better soon, Peyton. Great idea, hope you get there. Take care
stay strong. Shared this with my family. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Rosario!
Sending love, Peyton. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
you're not alone, Peyton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Aurangabad.
