Haifa
Sycamore Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 81 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 126 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 $1,400 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $840 • Tools and protective gear: $420 • Signage and educational materials: $140 Thanks for reading all this. - Itzhak
