Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 80 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 177 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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:
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $270
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,730
With deep gratitude,
Vanessa

Thinking of you and your family, Vanessa. Great idea, hope you get there. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from São Paulo.
Praying for you, Vanessa. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
