Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 78 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 186 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $1,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,100
• Tools and protective gear: $195
• Signage and educational materials: $205
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending strength. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Best of luck, Mai. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Kawasaki.
Hope it all works out. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Cebu City.
