36 Environmental Outreach & Education Tabling at Festivals and Rodeos
37 How You Can Help Keep your distance and obey signs for sensitive nesting areas Avoid driving on beaches Keep pets on a leash Don t feed wildlife or leave trash Dispose of fishing line properly Spread the word! Volunteer!
38 What Our Volunteers Do Conduct shorebird surveys Outreach and Education Mobilize Equipment Gerry Ellis
39 Coastal Stewardship 101 Inform beachgoers These birds lay their eggs in the sand and are hard to see Disturbing these nesting birds can cause failure When the birds dive at you or if see one that looks injured, this means you are too close to their nest or young These birds are protected by federal laws, like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act Here, I can show you one of the nesting birds if you d like!
40 Coastal Stewardship 101 Answer questions Why is this area posted and off-limits to people? How long is the nesting season? Why should I keep my dog on a leash? How can I get involved?
41 Coastal Stewardship 101 We are not enforcement
