NJ DEP-Looking For a Few Hearty Volunteers...


With in days, believe it or not, Piping Plover should be arriving back to the beaches of Cape May. And with their arrival comes the necessity to erect fences to keep these endangered birds' nesting area safe.

The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program is looking for volunteers to help erect fences on the beach for nesting Piping Plover and Least Terns.

If you think you have what it takes to help drive some steaks in the ground, string some rope and put up some signs-all in an effort to ensure that these endangered species have a relatively trouble free place to nest-contact Christina Kisiel at ckisiel AT hughes DOT net.

Volunteers are only asked to spend a few hours doing a world of good. And you get to hang out with some like minded, very nice people to boot. Dates are Saturday March 28 and 10 a.m. at the Cape May Point State Park and Saturday April 4, same time, at Stone Harbor. See the flyer above for more information.
