Pasig
Pioneer Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 87 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 76 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $195 • Tools and protective gear: $40 • Waste removal and skip hire: $60 • Signage and educational materials: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Jun

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jun.

    • Jun HernandezOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $195. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't give up. Love from Pune

    • Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Pasig.
