INTERPRETIVE
EXHIBITS
The Bay Trail in Richmond is enriched by a wonderful variety of exhibit panels and sculptures telling fascinating
stories about the varied history of Richmond’s shoreline
and interpreting its tidal wetlands, wildlife and offshore islands.
As one Bay Trail user emailed TRAC:
“The
panels add important value to the experience of people who use
the Bay Trail and shoreline parks. I notice a lot of people looking
at them. Plus, I enjoy them myself, even though I've been around
here for a long time. The panels help put the whole shoreline
experience and our area into a context the users would probably
never know about otherwise.”
