Bird of the Month

October 2026 - Fall Migration

Fall migration is underway! Millions of birds are making their incredible journeys south, and many travel at night, using the moon, stars, and other natural cues to navigate.

Unfortunately, artificial lights can confuse and disorient migrating birds, causing them to lose their way, become exhausted, or collide with buildings. A few simple actions can help save their lives!

🌙 Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights, especially from dusk to dawn.

💡 Dim indoor lights and close curtains or blinds at night to reduce light shining through windows.

🏡 Use motion sensors for outdoor lighting when needed for safety.

❤️ Every light turned off makes a difference! By keeping our night skies dark, we can help migrating birds find their way safely to their winter homes.

Let's make Lower Makefield a bird-friendly community, one light at a time!

 Let’s keep Lower Makefield Township a great place for birds! 💚

Why is a Stormwater Utility Fee Necessary?

The Township evaluated its stormwater program needs by considering the importance of stormwater management, desired level of service, asset conditions, known issues, planned improvements, and regulatory requirements to project future costs. These costs, along with ongoing administrative and operational expenses, were allocated across the Township’s estimated impervious area to establish the Stormwater Utility Fee.
