Clean water and shade for San Fernando: restoring Union Beach
Help us clean and replant Union Beach before the November planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world352 views
Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 62 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 155 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $155
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $20
With deep gratitude,
Christian

Sending good thoughts. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't give up
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Mthatha.
great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page
Sending love, Christian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Good luck, Christian. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Christian. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Fernando.
Sending love, Christian. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Celaya.
