Common Tern Nesting Grid Removal

Tuesday, August 22, 2023 - 9:00am

TILT and conservation partner, Save The River, need volunteers to help dismantle the nesting grid on Eagle Wing Shoals and Tidd Island. Each spring, gull exclusion grids are erected over choice nesting areas to provide protection and safe nesting spaces for this species. By late summer, Common Tern chicks have fledged and the grids must be removed for winter.

We will meet at the TILT office at 8:45 am for boat transportation to the shoals.  Please wear clothing suitable for outdoor work and non-slip shoes. Also, if you have work gloves and snips, please being them. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers. This event is weather dependent - we will call registered participants to confirm the date.

**This volunteer trek is now closed. Please check back next year to join us!
