Marsh field trip
The Redwood Region Audubon Society will present a free guided field trip at the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary on Saturday from 8:30 to 11 a.m.
Bring binoculars and meet trip leader Carol Wilson at the end of South I Street (Klopp Lake) in Arcata to enjoy the easy-to-walk trails. November often brings many ducks and shorebirds that will spend the winter at the marsh, too.
