Brighton High School students planting shrubs along Buckland Creek as part of the Monroe Avenue Green Infrastructure Project.
BHS students have monitored Buckland Creek for over a decade. The section of the creek, near Twelve Corners Middle School, has experienced erosion, poor water quality and loss of fish and wildlife habitat over the years. As part of the stormwater management and habitat restoration component of the GIGP, theTown of Brighton, Brighton Central School District, members of the Stormwater Coalition and other community partners, volunteers, and students have worked together to help restore this section of the creek.
