Clean water and shade for Madrid: restoring Maple Beach
Help us clean and replant Maple Beach before the July planting window closes.

Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 37 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 58 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: $250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $580
• Signage and educational materials: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
