Help the wildlife at Parker River Refuge. Plover Wardens contribute significantly to the success of the piping plovers’ breeding season. Beginning in April, the entire Refuge beach is closed to all public entry in order to provide undisturbed habitat for this federally threatened species. Plover Wardens are stationed at both the north and south ends of the Refuge’s 6 ½ mile beach. Plover Wardens greet visitors, providing information on the closure and notify Refuge staff of closure violations.
Time Frame: April-August
Commitment: 1-4 hour shifts, in morning, afternoon, or late afternoon. Hours are VERY flexible.
