NYC Plover Project Collection
This collection celebrates NYC Plover Project, a nonprofit working to protect endangered Piping Plovers and their nesting habitat in New York City. The group's volunteers actively monitor and protect plover nests and families, engaging beach-goers to teach them about the threats these birds face, including human disturbances, habitat loss, predators and climate change.
