Cattail Marsh Turns a Beaumont Wastewater Project Into Bird Country

Cattail Marsh sits by Tyrrell Park in Beaumont. The city describes it as a 900-acre nature area near a migratory flyway, with a boardwalk and the Wetlands Education Center overlooking the marsh.

It gives Beaumont a softer public face than highways and refinery stacks. The education center has a porch, classroom, bird views, kid programs, yoga, and van tours. It turns a wetland into a place families can actually use.

For visitors, it is one of the easiest ways to see why Jefferson County is not just industry. It is also birds, levee trails, and open marsh light.
