DESCRIPTION:We’ll start at the rooftop garden of the Oakland museum (no entrance fee 
 required), where we’ll get a good overview of the Lake and an 
 introduction to Lake history. From there we’ll walk along Oak 
 St./Lakeside Dr. to Grand Ave. This stretch includes both the oldest and 
 the newest buildings on the Lake plus a few other surprises. Over the last 
 150 years the Lake has oscillated between jewel and sewer. We’ll try to 
 recreate a few snapshots in time to see how the attitudes and technologies 
 of the day influenced the wildlife of the lake. We’ll end with a glimpse 
 into the future with the completion of projects under measure DD.\n\nDr 
 Dianne Fristrom, the walk leader, is a retired biologist from UC Berkeley 
 and a natural history docent at the Oakland museum. She and her husband 
 moved to Oakland in 2000 to a condominium on Lakeside Drive. The new 
 location inspired an interest in birding – starting with learning to 
 identify the Lake’s waterfowl. More recently she has focussed on learning 
 about the social history of Lake Merritt.\n\nWild Oakland is a 100% 
 Do-It-Yourself volunteer organization, from the Guiding Committee to the 
 walk leaders. All people involved in this project donate their time because 
 of a shared passion for ecology and education.  Our mission is to provide 
 free, fun, relevant, and commitment-free environmental education to busy 
 urbanites.  \n\nThe walks are geared towards adults and teens, but we 
 encourage parents to bring their young children even if some information 
 may be over their heads!\n\nSee you at the walk!\n\n
