Plant 2,400 native trees around Acacia Beach in Busan
Volunteers are restoring Acacia Beach in Busan; $750 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇰🇷 Busan, South Korea1,946 views
Acacia Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 55 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 145 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $750 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $390
• Signage and educational materials: $135
• Waste removal and skip hire: $225
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

how is Hyun-woo doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Hyun-woo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Rochester.
You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Busan.
Thinking of you and your family, Hyun-woo. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Ho so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Busan
is there anything that isn't money that would help Hyun-woo?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and protective gear, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you peace, Hyun-woo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Ubud but we're thinking of you
sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Rawalpindi this morning. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hyun-woo.
It's all in the list in the story. tools and protective gear is the big one at $390, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best, Hyun-woo. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Hyun-woo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Kasarani but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Praying for you, Hyun-woo. I hope things turn around soon.
Keep going, Hyun-woo. More neighborhoods should do this
Rooting for you, Hyun-woo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
