Restoring Maple Beach: a volunteer-led project in Scranton
A neighborhood-led restoration of Maple Beach needs $1,800 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇸 Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States1,603 views
Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 108 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 65 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $840
• Tools and protective gear: $370
• Waste removal and skip hire: $420
• Signage and educational materials: $170
Thank you so much.
