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. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE It’s time for Bayfield to update is Comprehensive Plan. For more information, please visit the "CITY INFO' tab above.

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!
