Wasaga Beach Piping Plover Program
Ontario’s Endangered Species Act lists the Piping Plovers as endangered species in Canada. In 2008, Piping Plovers were discovered to be seen on the shores of Wasaga Beach once again. Previous to 2008, Piping Plovers had not been recorded nesting on the shores of Wasaga Beach for over 70 years ago. But thanks to human intervention, the Piping Plover may be on its way to recovery.
TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (FEF) are a major supporter of bird research and conservation in Canada. Specifically, in Wasaga Beach, they have funded two information kiosks with signage educating beach visitors about the Piping Plovers, fencing for the nest enclosures, as well as providing printed t-shirts and hats for the Piping Plover Guardian volunteers. Many local business and corporate partners have also contributed to protecting the Piping Plovers in Wasaga Beach.
If you are interested in learning more about the Piping Plover Program and how you can support this program in the future, contact John Fisher by email john.fisher@ontario.ca or call the Park Office at (705) 429-2516.
