A view of Marquette's wilderness

Opinion—Be cautious of your impact while enjoying natural spaces

With 906 Day occurring last week, I saw that many people went out to enjoy these natural sites. However, seeing all these people out hiking and exploring has caused me to wonder about the effects of recreation on natural spaces.
