Hello all Piping Plover lovers:

Piping Plovers have arrived on the beaches and need our help!

WE CAN ALL HELP PROTECT PIPING PLOVERS - AN ENDANGERED SPECIES!
Nova Scotians are encouraged to share the beach by giving Piping Plovers
room to raise their chicks. During the breeding season - from approximately
May to August - volunteer guardians spend time at the posted
boundaries to enhance public awareness of the plover's plight, encourage
the public to please keep their pets on leashes and to avoid posted areas, 
or simply report a sighting.

TO FIND OUT MORE  . . .

 PLEASE JOIN US AT A GATHERING

 WHERE:  Musquodoboit Harbour Municipal Office
 (including a walk along the beach)

 WHEN:  Sunday, May 5, 2002

 TIME: 10:00 a.m. -  3:30 p.m. (Lunch provided)
