VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
**Piping Plover Volunteers Needed THIS SATURDAY**
Volunteers are needed to monitor endangered piping plovers this Saturday, June 19 at two beaches in the Seacoast. There is one pair of birds at Seabrook Beach with 2 chicks and 2 pairs of birds incubating nests at Hampton Beach State Park. Volunteers would need to get a head count to make sure all the birds are still there and then spend some time on the beach talking to people and making sure nobody steps on the chicks at Seabrook or is walking through the fenced off areas at Hampton. If you can help, please contact NH Fish & Game Plover Monitor Heather Kleczek at 793-2225 or hkleczek@yahoo.com.
