Clean streets and rivers for Riverside: restoring Sycamore Beach

Sycamore Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 99 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 98 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,900
• Tools and protective gear: $550
• Waste removal and skip hire: $1,000
• Signage and educational materials: $200

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Riverside.
Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
