Plant 4,600 native trees around Jacaranda Beach in Caloocan
A neighborhood-led restoration of Jacaranda Beach needs $400 for saplings and equipment.

Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 66 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 $400 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Native saplings and stakes: $295
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
