Restoring Jacaranda Beach: a volunteer-led project in Nuremberg
Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Beach before the November planting window closes.

Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 119 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 $1,450 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $190
• Tools and protective gear: $600
• Waste removal and skip hire: $660

is there anything that isn't money that would help Felix?
Thank you. If you're in Nuremberg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
so sorry you're going through this, Felix. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Savar so I could bring a meal
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Uberlândia.
wishing you the best, Felix. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Hang in there. More neighborhoods should do this!
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from New York!
Sending strength. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Nottingham so I could bring a meal
thanks for sharing this. More neighborhoods should do this. I'll check back for the next update
Praying for you, Felix. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Nuremberg
