EGHS Students Protect Plovers With Virtual Fence

Love receiving emails like this-

Thanks to your students, our Piping plovers on Napatree are protected by virtual fencing.  On April 9th, this very hard working group lugged heavy poles, spools of rope and signs 1.5 miles to the western end of this barrier beach which is the preferred nesting area of this endangered species.
Your students were professional, good natured and a HUGE help!!

Your should be so proud of all of them.

Thank you!
