Harmony Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 112 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 122 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $740
• Waste removal and skip hire: $300
• Signage and educational materials: $60
Thank you for reading my story.
