With bulldozers and dredges, they are removing the dirt and garbage that have been dumped on wetlands. With hacksaws and herbicides, they are attacking exotic interlopers that have displaced native vegetation. With shovels and rakes, they are replanting original species of trees...

In California, at the Nature Conservancy's Coachella Valley Preserve, a few dozen volunteers felled thousands of salt cedar trees that had sucked this small desert area nearly dry, clearing the way for the reappearance...
