Clean water and shade for Swansea: restoring Lotus Beach
Volunteers are restoring Lotus Beach in Swansea; $1,950 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇬🇧 Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom3,089 views
Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 119 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 49 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 $1,950 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $370
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,450
• Signage and educational materials: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Micah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
Take care. Hope you get there. Love from Kasarani.
rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 33 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Swansea.
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
