Unity Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 106 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 132 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $170
• Tools and protective gear: $55
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $10
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Oanh. More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Saket.
