Pioneer Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 101 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 145 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 $200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $105
• Tools and protective gear: $55
• Signage and educational materials: $40
With deep gratitude,
Hiwot

Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending good thoughts. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
