Restoring Sycamore Beach: a volunteer-led project in Southampton
A neighborhood-led restoration of Sycamore Beach needs $2,050 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 Southampton, England, United Kingdom1,823 views
Sycamore Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 94 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 160 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $150
• Tools and protective gear: $520
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,380
