On Saturday morning, an ongoing battle against an alien invasion took place in the Wheatley Woods. Students joined science teacher Steve Finkelstein and his dedicated band of officers from Wheatley’s Environmental Action Committee to pull up the invasive and exotic mile-a-minute weed in their ongoing efforts to restore a remnant of the Hempstead Plains.

With the assistance of these intrepid volunteers, the invasive weed was pulled and some of the Hempstead Plains were restored!
