Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 110 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 199 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $890
• Tools and protective gear: $210
• Waste removal and skip hire: $510
• Signage and educational materials: $40

this could happen to any of us. Thinking of Vigo
Good luck, Ignacio. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope it all works out, Ignacio. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madrid.
