vast stretches of restored wetlands. and so this whole flat land here was a mosaic of tidal wetlands when kendall webster gazes across the levees and farmland in southern sonoma county. she can envision the tidal marshes that once flushed water back and forth from meandering waterways to pablo bay a vast expanse of wetlands that the sonoma land trust and their partners are working to restore california is investing in climate the way no other state in the country is right now, so we think that this is that this is the natural infrastructure project that the state should be highlighting to make that vision a reality the trust has joined with save the bay and more than a dozenvironmental and land management groups urging caltrans and the state to remove the one barrier that could open up natural marshland across the entire north bay highway 37 first, it helps to understand that the highway is essentially a 21 mile levy with bridges and
