The East Hampton Department of Natural Resource’s Anna Soccorsi advised the town board that seasonal volunteers are being sought to monitor the various locations where piping plovers come to nest and lay their eggs. Conservation efforts by both the town department, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the State Department of Environmental Conservation collaborate their efforts each season to help foster a healthy population of the shorebirds. The goal is to be able to remove the plovers from the Endangered Species Act. To volunteer please get in touch with Ms. Soccorsi at 631-324-0496 or by email: asoccorsi@ehamptonny.gov
