Plover Volunteers Needed for Summer 2012
The Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy is once again looking for piping plover volunteers for the summer of 2012. The piping plover is a federally endangered shorebird species that breeds along the sandy beaches of the Great Lakes.
Volunteer opportunities
will begin in May
and run through mid-August
at U.P. beaches along Lake Superior and
Lake Michigan.
If you have a day, a weekend, a week, or a month that you have available to enjoy the outdoors and volunteer with this successful program, please contact UPLC. Phone (906) 225-8067 or email uplc@uplandconservancy.org
(See Monitor nesting piping plovers for more details. )
Can you help us protect U.P. land?
If you or your family own land here in the U. P., consider establishing an easement or donating some land for a preserve. If you simply enjoy the environment of the Upper Peninsula and believe in our aims of permanent stewardship, you can become a member of UPLC or contribute in other ways.
Together we can do it.
UPLC is qualified under state law to own land to establish nature preserves, as well as hold conservation easements. We currently protect over 2500 acres of land in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula through conservation easements and land donations.
Established in 1999 as the Central Lake Superior Land Conservancy, the U. P. Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) organization.
