Hundreds of youth affiliated with different religious groups have been pitching in to help Kansas City remove an invasive plant species.
A crew of teens and preteens swarmed the hillside at Gillham Park wielding loppers, saws and herbicide midday Wednesday as temperatures climbed into the 90s.
Most didn’t seem to mind.
Sydney Tatro, 14, yanked on a long vine of Asian bush honeysuckle that was fighting her with every tug.
“What is this stuff?” she jokingly shouted.
Hundreds of youth, like Sydney, affiliated with different churches across the country, descended on the metro this week as part of their summer mission to help build or repair local structures and do good works.

I was just reading about invasive plants and what a problem they are...they cut down on crops and kill trees.
