LET'S PROTECT HABITAT FOR SPECIES AT RISK

Bring the whole family to learn how to help protect one of Nova Scotia's
endangered species through the Nova Scotia Coastal Guardian's "Protecting
Piping Plovers" Program. Piping Plovers, officially listed as an endangered
species, are small shorebirds that breed on Nova Scotia's white sandy/cobble
beaches - just the kind of beach that humans really like too!

Sport and recreation activities, campfires, A.T.V. use, beachcombing,
unleashed pets and littering - which attracts natural predators such as
crows and gulls - on nesting beaches disrupts the normal behaviour of Piping
Plovers and often results in the loss of nests and chicks.

To learn why the beach is important to the Piping Plover and how we all can
help to ensure its survival, please join us on the following locations and
dates:
Sand Hills Provincial Park - May 24, 2003
Martinique Provincial Park - June 7, 2003
Summerville Provincial Park - June 21, 2003
Pomquet Provincial Park - July 12, 2003

Please call (902) 860-1263 or email plover@istar.ca to register, or for more
information. Meet at the park entrance at 2:00 pm. Each event is
approximately 1.5 hours in length. Rain dates are currently scheduled at the
same time on the Saturday following the scheduled event. 

See you at the beach!
