This Measure DD project includes six interpretive sign panels. The purpose of these signs is to connect people to the place and the wildlife that live at Lake Merritt and encourage stewardship. The six panels feature information on the Lake Merritt watershed, wildlife refuge history, birds of Lake Merritt, wildlife habitat, rain gardens, and the tidal lagoon ecosystem. The sign panels, measuring six feet wide by two feet tall, are scheduled for installation at the locations on the map below the week of May 15, 2023. To see images of the six interpretive signs scroll down below the map. More information about each sign and the content included will be available soon.
