Misuse of the Preserve
|
|
 |
 |
|
| Several areas of the alkali sink have become
dumping grounds for household trash, furniture, and old
tires. |
Large sections of alkali sink communities
and seasonal wetland pools have been damaged or destroyed
by illegal bike jumps and off-road vehicle activity. The
above photo was taken following an illegal 4th of July
fireworks party. |
