Restoration work underway in Arcata near Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary

Arcata, Ca., (KIEM) If you’re thinking about visiting the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary early next week you may be met by city workers.

The city of Arcata will be doing restoration work on South I Street on land next to the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, known to locals as the Little Lakes property.

This project involves cutting willow trees from the areas where they are currently growing through the pavement and gravel.

The willow cuttings will then be used for the South Jacoby Creek Wetland Enhancement and Restoration Project.

Work will take place on Tuesday, September 24 from 8 AM to 5 PM.

Access to the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary will not be affected.
