California: Plot to Thicken with 40,000 Seedlings
In a wetland restoration plan twice as big as last year's, Save the Bay is plotting to plant 40,000 native seedlings around the San Francisco Bay this winter. The environmental-advocacy group seeks volunteers for the ambitious campaign that includes areas such as Bair Island in Redwood City, already part of a larger restoration program, and parts of Palo Alto. "The overall goal is to restore 100,000 acres in the Bay Area to tidal wetlands in partnership with other agencies."
