Piping Plover Needs Your Help!

They raise their babies in the same areas we play in. They are not easily seen because of their unique ability to blend in with the sand. This makes it difficult for predators to see them.

The Piping Plover is an endangered species. If they die, we will never see them again.

When you are at the beaches and parks you can help them by:

  • Respecting all areas fenced or posted for the protection of plover and other wildlife.
  • Not approaching or lingering near their nests.
  • Not leaving or burying trash or food scraps on the beach. Any garbage will attract their predators.
  • Beach-goers and kites approaching the nests seem like predators to the Piping Plover.

So please, stay away from their nesting areas. There is plenty of room for all of us!
