Plant 3,150 native trees around Jacaranda Beach in Greensboro
Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Beach before the November planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States1,638 views
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.
