----------- Community News --------- Public Notices --------- Project News -----------

The City of Bayfield has once again achieved "Sustained Flight" status in the Bird City Wisconsin program. Bayfield first achieved "Bird City" status in 2012. Bird City Wisconsin is a program of the Milwaukee Audubon Society that recognizes municipalities for the conservation and education activities that they undertake to make their communities healthy for birds...and people.

To be recognized as a Bird City, a community must meet criteria spread across six categories: habitat creation and protection, community forest management, limiting threats to birds, education, energy and sustainability, and the official recognition and celebration of International Migratory Bird Day. International Migratory Bird Day was celebrated in Bayfield in May with a bird walk on the Bayfield Brownstone Trail led by Neil Howk, president of Chequamegon Audubon.

The City of Bayfield competed in a yearlong competition called the Clean Utility Energy Challenge which was funded by The Great Lakes Protection Fund and American Water Works Association. The inaugural 2017-2018 competition, focused on the Great Lakes Basin, was aimed at connecting the utilities with new innovative software that reduces mercury and other emissions while reducing the utility’s operations and management costs. The City of Bayfield used LEEM (Locational Emission Estimation Methodology) technology which provides predictive and real-time emission intensity data for mercury, CO2, SO2, NOx, and lead. From the free day-ahead information, the City of Bayfield was able to manipulate the times that water was pumped to lower emission times thus reducing the amount of emissions released as well as saving energy cost. We were successful in our efforts and managed to earn the title of Green Champion along with a $10,000 prize!

Waterfront Walk "Turning Point"
Park Project

The primary purpose of this project is to re-develop the "Turning Point" element at First Street and Wilson Avenue into a new park area. The project includes the construction of a portion of the missing Waterfront Trail allowing users to traverse alongside of Lake Superior, the construction of a fully ADA compliant restroom facility, the addition of a safe trail spur so users can safely access the highly used East Dock Park, and creates a new area for public outdoor recreation with the construction of a new park area featuring a donated fountain that will be located directly in the middle of the "Turning Point" area.

Work has started!
