Clean streets and rivers for Seattle: restoring Maple Beach
Help us clean and replant Maple Beach before the June planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world1,158 views
Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 94 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 $1,500 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $560
• Signage and educational materials: $240
• Native saplings and stakes: $700
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Adrián. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Sending strength, Adrián. Hope you get there.
Rooting for you, Adrián. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Seattle.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending good thoughts, Adrián. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

wishing you the best, Adrián. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Nakuru.
