Hi all,
I want to echo Kate's recommendation to report dogs off-leash whenever you =
can to provincial enforcement officers: 1-800-565-2224.
There were several Piping Plovers observed at Conrads in May 2015, but they=
did not linger more than about a week. Dogs off-leash and night time parti=
es are chronic problems at this beach and may be contributing or leading fa=
ctors in why plovers do not stay to breed. The officers are stretched thin =
in areas and reporting incidents helps target their efforts.
Thanks,Sue
