Merrill Wildlife Viewing Area Receives Grants

The City of Merrill was recently awarded a $16,000 Klamath County Tourism Grant and a $2,500 Jordan Cove-Pacific Connector Grant for construction of a new wildlife viewing area on Front Street in downtown Merrill along Lost River.  Construction will begin this summer.

The new area will provide wildlife viewing opportunities for community members and visitors on Lost River.  It will feature benches, picnic tables, information on area wildlife, along with information on wildlife viewing opportunities in the region.  There will also be information about Carl Barks, famous Disney artist who grew up in Merrill.  Congratulations to the City of Merrill and the Project Merrill Team!
