Lake Dalwigk Restoration Work
Looking south over Lake Dalwigk and its two islands
Over six years the Lake Dalwigk Community-Based Urban Greening Project was completed to enhance a minimally-vegetated, 44-acre stormwater detention basin in central Vallejo. A diverse palette of carefully selected native plants were installed, including 240 trees; 2,200 shrubs; 16,000 rush, sedge, and grass plugs; and 5 acres of wildflower and grass seed.
New park amenities were installed, including 12 interpretive signs, a hydration station, paved sections of the road, and path lights.
This project was completed thanks to funding by the State Coastal Conservancy, and in cooperation with several project partners, including:
- Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District
- Greater Vallejo Recreation District
- Vallejo Watershed Alliance
- City of Vallejo
- Napa-Solano Audubon Society
- Natural Resources Conservation Service
- Vallejo City Unified School District
