Thank you volunteers!! Piping Plover habitat improvements on Wisconsin Point

August was full of Piping Plover habitat site improvements at the Wisconsin Point Bird Sanctuary. Mikayla Erickson, Piping Plover Project Leader, welcomed multiple groups including members from the Moose Lake LOONS, Master Naturalists, and SLRA members and staff to help remove and bag invasive plant materials, helping reduce the seed bank for next year’s shorebird season. During these events, Mikayla also led the groups on a tour highlighting the 2024 site improvements including the newly planted dune grass and increase to the nesting area. Thank you to everyone who joined us and keep an eye out for future volunteer days so you can experience this beautiful site!
