Plant 3,700 native trees around Acacia Beach in Oakland
Help us clean and replant Acacia Beach before the December planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States2,051 views
Acacia Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 43 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 57 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,650
• Waste removal and skip hire: $230
• Tools and protective gear: $370
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Sent it to 19 people at work. Love from Enugu.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Oakland.
