About this Event

Detroit Zoo: Piping Plovers

Join STEAM Club on Thursday, March 6th to learn about plovers!

Piping plovers are small shorebirds that must overcome big challenges before hatching, growing, and migrating. To understand the plover's plight, learn about the everyday actions that place piping plovers in danger, identify at-risk nesting sites, and discover how ecologists help populations through captive-rearing techniques, bird banding, and nest security. Ages 5 & up are welcome.
