Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 82 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 123 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $200
• Native saplings and stakes: $450
• Waste removal and skip hire: $550
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Ratul. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Amsterdam donated after I showed her your page. Love from Amsterdam!
