Baobab Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 45 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 43 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $2,200 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,050 • Tools and protective gear: $370 • Waste removal and skip hire: $550 • Signage and educational materials: $230 Thanks for being kind about this. - Yuki

    Keep going, Yuki. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
