Conserve Wildlife Foundation staff recently assisted researchers from the
State University of New York with a piping plover project that involves
collecting flight pattern data about plovers in New Jersey and
Massachusetts. The information collected will be used to help determine
potential impacts of wind turbines on this federally listed species. The
field work is being headed up in New Jersey by CWFNJ “alumni” Emily Heiser.
