How do you remove leaves from fender near Intake Port?

I was taking out my intake today(not a new one though) and I noticed the piece that goes into the fender when I popped that out, there wear leaves all in there. How could I go about getting those out? I can't fit my hand through there



EDIT: BTW I do not know how leaves got there. I do park under a tree, so who the hell knows.

Stick a leaf blower in there to blow them out. They obviously cant be sucked out.

Its just an opening in the fender. Debris can be sucked in if the debris is loose enough, which leaves often are. Probably so.

Is it a red Poulan? I have the same one probably. Park on clean surfaces too, the start up is what can suck in debris through the port.

PFT, Craftsman

I don't want that shizz going in my intake yo. Is there a way to pop off that inner fender wheel stuff? Then I could easily just get it out. Oh yeah, when I open the drivers door, from the fender, if I look, I can see leaves in there too. Maybe I could stick the blower on it there and it would blow it all out of the intake little hole?
