Program Description
This outreach program is a great opportunity for students to learn about the federally-protected birds nesting on our beaches. The goal of the program is to engage children in local conservation efforts - shorebird management in particular. We open with a presentation on the importance of protecting these species, including the Piping Plover, Least and Common Tern and American Oystercatcher. Afterwards, students create their own signs encouraging beach visitors to respect beach-nesting birds. Ten to fifteen signs are chosen to be professionally-printed (with the artist's name, school, and the Group for the East End logo), and displayed at North Fork monitoring sites. The presentation can be completed in 45 minutes. Students will design posters during class time or at home.
