🇬🇧 Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom478 views
Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 102 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $950
• Waste removal and skip hire: $480
• Tools and protective gear: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

take care. Great idea, hope you get there. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
You're not alone, Hailey. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne!
