The “Watchable Wildlife Project,” coordinated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), has identified certain sites throughout the state as accessible wildlife viewing sites. The wildlife sites are described in the

Texas Wildlife Viewing Guide

, published by TPWD.

To promote environmental and ecological awareness and to help the public find the wildlife sites, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) installs and maintains WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA signing (D7-12T, D7-12aT and D7-13T). See

Standard Highway Sign Designs for Texas

(SHSD) for sign details.
