Protecting Piping Plovers

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 5, 2022

Piping Plovers are tiny endangered shorebirds who spend part of the spring and summer right here in the Rockaways. Chris Allieri, founder of the NYC Plover Project, talks about the work of the volunteers to protect the birds as they begin nesting on the beach -- and how to be a volunteer this season.
