Piping Plovers Playfully Assist Beach Survey
CCSWCD Summer Interns Vera, Dana, and Kathryn were welcomed to their work at Higgins Beach by a playful pack of piping plovers!
Careful to keep a safe distance from these important birds, our team worked on surveying pet waste at a local beach, collecting critical data in our analysis of water quality and health.
Seeing the plovers in their habitat is just another reminder of the importance of this work and the need for time and resources spent on soil and water conservation practices.
