The Tern and Plover Conservation Partnership is seeking volunteers to monitor tern and plover colonies along the Platte River from Columbus to Plattsmouth.
Volunteers help partnership staff monitor nesting populations, build protective fences and involve communities.
Volunteers need to attend one of the three-hour training sessions in 153 Hardin Hall, 3310 Holdrege St., Lincoln: Tuesday, May 26, 9 a.m. to noon; 1 to 4 p.m. or 6 to 9 p.m.; or Wednesday, May 27, 9 a.m. to noon or 1 to 4 p.m.
The partnership deploys volunteers to nesting sites within easy driving distance of their homes, said Chris Thody, volunteer coordinator. The time commitment may be an hour or two at a time, possibly several times during the season.
To register for one of the training sessions, contact Thody, at (402) 472-8741 or cthody2@unl.edu.
