Plant 3,150 native trees around Jacaranda Beach in Greensboro

Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Beach before the November planting window closes.

Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 112 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 118 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $1,900 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $460 • Tools and protective gear: $750 • Waste removal and skip hire: $610 • Signage and educational materials: $80 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Mónica
