In addition to Kate=E2=80=99s note, I would like to add that there is =
more than Piping Plover we need to worry about when it comes to dogs off =
leash. Soon the dunes and grasslands will have lots of breeding Savanah =
and Nelson sparrows and dogs off leash can trample nests and fledglings. =

Subject: [NatureNS] Conrad Beach - New Boardwalk
=20
April 13, 2016
Conrad Beach Warden please note:
The new boardwalk at Conrad Beach in Lawrencetown is complete and =
accessible now. They did a really good job of it and it looks robust =
enough that no puny hurricane will knock this one over!
Unfortunately, the dogs off leash are still a significant problem on =
this beach. This morning there were no fewer that 6 running loose at =
the same time. While four of the dogs where generally behaving and =
staying close to their two handlers, the other two dogs where totally =
out of control by their handler. One jumped me by surprise from the =
side and then the other one jumped me at shoulder height from behind and =
almost knocked me off my feet - handler says sorry but did not leash the =
dog when requested! If I had been frail or a child, there was =
significant potential for injury. =20
If the off leash dogs cannot be controlled on this beach, I would =
suggest that the Piping Plover information sign might as well be removed =
as I do not believe any piping plover could survive the constant =
onslaught of off leash dogs, especially those that cannot be controlled =
by their handler, like happened this morning.
