Brevard County has closed the Viera Wetlands to the public as a result of Gov. Ron Desantis’ “Stay at Home” executive order that took effect Friday.
The Viera Wetlands — formally known as the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands — is a popular spot for bird-watchers, bicyclists and hikers.
The wetlands, off Wickham Road, now is closed to all visitors, including foot traffic, vehicles and bicycles.
