Restoring Acacia Beach: a volunteer-led project in Odesa
A neighborhood-led restoration of Acacia Beach needs $300 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇦 Odesa, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine905 views
Acacia Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 67 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 41 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 $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $55
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Signage and educational materials: $60
With deep gratitude,
Taras

Take care, Taras. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from Tema.
Sending good thoughts, Taras. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
