Episode description
Chris Allieri started the NYC Plover Project in spring 2021, after seeing people and dogs disturb plover nests at a popular beach. He realized how vulnerable the birds are to having their nesting areas disturbed. Chris contacted the National Park Service, and together they set up volunteer training. Today the Plover Project has a volunteer force of about 75 people who educate beachgoers about plover nesting areas and sharing the beach with the birds.
