A shorebird story: Piping Plovers on Trustees beaches
The Trustees of Reservations is proud to protect and steward numerous threatened and endangered species around the state, and along the coast. This summer, the Piping Plover population on Crane Beach had a record year, with 49 pairs of plovers fledging 96 chicks. In this episode, two Trustees ecologists detail the triumphs, tragedies and inside story of just what it takes to steward and manage a shorebird season on our beaches.
