Harmony Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 101 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 117 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $300 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $155 • Tools and protective gear: $55 • Waste removal and skip hire: $75 • Signage and educational materials: $15 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Anisur

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anisur.

      • Anisur Tanvir ChowdhuryOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. native saplings and stakes comes first ($155) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
