There will be a Nasketucket Bird Club meeting on Thursday, May 24at 7:00 pm
Kathleen Shepherd, a Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences student, will give a program on the piping plover. The presentation will start with an introduction to piping plover identification, behaviors, and habitat. She will then explore why they are a species of concern, and what has led them to be listed as an endangered species both federally and statewide. Kathleen will also talk about methods of management and conservation, including what we can do as private citizens to increase their chances of survival.
The meetings, open to the public and handicapped accessible, are held at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library, located at the south door entrance on Barstow Street in Mattapoisett.
