Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 44 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 137 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $2,550 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $700 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,200 • Tools and protective gear: $650 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Keith

    Wishing you peace, Keith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
