Restoring Cedar Beach: a volunteer-led project in Depok
A neighborhood-led restoration of Cedar Beach needs $250 for saplings and equipment.

Cedar Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 72 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 164 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $140
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($100). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Wahyu?
Thank you. If you're in Depok I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Praying for you, Wahyu. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Pune.
You're not alone. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 17 people at work. Take care!
