Camping illegals?If they have no signs to designate the area as a preserve its stupid to say the police need to crack down.Heyheyhey is exactly right.Use the resources to clean it up and then to put up some signs.Then protect it with death beams and radar towers.Oh,hell just put up a damned fence!

What would help is signage and community education. I see people there all the time fishing and enjoying the area and I bet they have no idea what the area represents. There is no visual indication that anything more special than a creek exists on the site. As far as dumping goes, it's impossible to stop it completely, but once again, if people know what the area is about, they might think twice about throwing their old couch there. By the way, Avondale has a bulk pickup day people, hellloooo...

I hope they save this area before it is lost forever.

this is where man really proves his dangerous nature; when the very planet that sustains him is treated like an enemy to be wiped out. this is where man proves he feels no connection to all living things.
