Volunteer to Help the Western Snowy Plover
Volunteer opportunities vary by location and include counting birds, serving as a docent to talk to the public about the birds, habitat restoration (weed pulling etc), picking up trash, helping install temporary fencing and signs, assisting chapters with school groups, patrolling nesting areas, and more!
Use our interactive map to explore Snowy Plover volunteer opportunities at beaches near you. Snowy Plover beaches are shown as dots. Those with a blue V have volunteer programs. Click on a dot to see more information, including the beach name, whether it has public access, the types of volunteering opportunities available, program contact information, and charts showing local population trends in both the breeding season and the winter (where data are available). Turn on other layers to view Important Bird Areas, local Audubon chapters, and protected areas.
