Piping Plover Learning Activities
Are you spending lots of time at home with the kids and looking for something both fun and educational to do with them? Why not help them to become a 'plover lover?! This page provides a variety of fun and interesting learning activities about the piping plover.
The Atlantic coast population of this little shorebird was listed as "threatened" under the federal Endangered Species Act in 1986, a protected status that remains today. From early spring through late summer, plovers breed on beaches up and down the east coast, including beaches located on some national wildlife refuges. Parker River National Wildlife Refuge just happens to be one of those places lucky enough to have piping plovers!
