Can we beautify it by removing the 16-foot-wide paved “trail” that now crosses it? Or removing the people leaving large piles of trash in the bushes along it? I don’t mind the fennel or pampas grass…

Arcata treats their wastewater in those lagoons that are part of the marsh system and they loose control and dump sewer into the marsh every year! Nobody cares about that but we need to get out there and pick up trash! Gimme a break.
