Clean water and shade for London: restoring Acacia Beach
Volunteers are restoring Acacia Beach in London; $2,000 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom853 views
Acacia Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 75 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 $2,000 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $960
• Tools and protective gear: $340
• Waste removal and skip hire: $500
• Signage and educational materials: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Rooting for you, Riley. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this, Riley. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of London.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Belfast.
Wishing you peace. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Siliguri!
