At the 200-acre (0.81 km2) Cartago Springs wetland at the foot of Owens Lake, the California Department of Fish and Game is using mitigation funds from CalTrans to enhance habitat. This property continues to develop as a wildlife-viewing area for the public. The site is open year-round for viewing of numerous bird species attracted to the ponds and wetlands as well as the ruins of a historic soda ash plant from the World War I era and the 1920s.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or access:
“Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The last publicized center of American writing was Manhattan. Its writers became known as the New York Intellectuals. With important connections to publishing, and universities, with access to the major book reviews, they were able to pose as the vanguard of American culture when they were so obsessed with the two Joes—McCarthy and Stalin—that they were to produce only two artists, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, who left town.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
