A couple dozen kids aged six to twelve helped volunteers remove non-native invasive plants from the land near a wetlands restoration site Wednesday.

The children, from the Coastside Children’s Program at Farallone View Elementary, broke up into teams. Each team was equipped with adult volunteers, its own biologist, and photos of the invasive species. They removed the intruding plants from perimeter of the wetland mitigation site created by the Caltrans Devil’s Slide Tunnel project.

When they were finished, the kids enjoyed a picnic lunch on Montara Beach provided by the Ritz.
