Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 120 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 $1,850 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $550 • Tools and protective gear: $320 • Waste removal and skip hire: $790 • Signage and educational materials: $190 Glad we found this place.

      take care, Avery. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Los Angeles.
