Birders may soon be able to access Brighton’s constructed wetlands.
Brighton’s committee of the whole agreed to recommend to council the creation of a five-dollar permit for birders to access the wetlands..
The committee agreed to recommend the permit-generated funds be used to increase environmental education of the wetlands.
The wetlands were added to the wastewater treatment system in 1998 for effluent polishing, and birders have been able to access the wetlands only through a guided tour by the wastewater operator.
