Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 103 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $440
• Tools and protective gear: $140
• Waste removal and skip hire: $165
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Julián
Quick update: $15 raised so far (2%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and the plan for native saplings and stakes is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward native saplings and stakes.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julián.
Thinking of you and your family, Julián. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Manukau
Wishing you peace, Julián. More neighborhoods should do this. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
