Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 102 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 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 $1,300 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $820 • Tools and protective gear: $290 • Waste removal and skip hire: $190 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

                            this could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
