Future Stewards of the Earth

As part of an ongoing photo series that appears once a month, “Future Stewards of the Earth” features Coastside kids exploring all aspects of the great outdoors on the Coast from farms and forests to marshes and beaches.

Here's April's installment with the hope that by sharing these photos, more children will be inspired to form a bond with nature and be compelled to stand up and support and protect it.

This month, State Park aide Kenneth Robertson shares a few photos from his collection, depicting Coastside kids volunteering for a habitat restoration project that supports the Coast's state beaches.

 Half Moon Bay Patch.com wants your photos, too. We want to see mud, critters, sand, sea creatures, birds, trees, banana slugs and more. But more importantly, we want to feature Coastside children engaging with their natural environment, showcasing the outdoor beauty and depth the Coast has to offer our kids. We also want to see kids being active outdoors, so hiking, biking, riding, surfing, swinging, and toddling around shots are welcome, too.

 If you’d like to participate, please submit one of the best photos of your child(ren) outdoors on the San Mateo Coast to Christa Bigue at xtapalmer@gmail.com. Include a photo caption with NAMES and AGES of the children in the photo and LOCATION.
