- **Event Description**: Join us at Robert Moses to help us establish the symbolic string fence for endangered shorebird nesting grounds and keep the beach clean!About this EventJoin us for Stewardship Saturday at Robert Moses for our annual string day and beach cleanup at Democrat Point! This is the first of three string day and beach cleanups that we will have at different beaches around Long Island this month.This program is available for all ages and with parental supervision for those under 14. Please be aware this event will require walking long distances on the beach. Extra layers are recommended as it can be very windy at Democrat Point!Time: 9:30am to 12:00pmParking Instructions: We will meet at the bathhouse in Field 2. There will be at least two vehicles to shuttle from Field 2 to Democrat Point. Due to passenger limitations people will be shuttled in waves. People are welcome to walk to Democrat Point instead of waiting for the shuttle however keep in mind it is about a 15-20 minute walk.Google Map Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WHPxkJzUaqovtpoG7Backround Information: All of our shorebirds are protected by an assortment of federal and state laws. The species that we are most concerned about are piping plovers, least terns, common terns, and black skimmers. All these birds are generally attracted to wide open areas of sand and gravel with little vegetation. They nest on the ground and their eggs and young all blend in well with their surroundings. Early in the spring park staff and volunteers will begin to install “symbolic fence” to protect suitable and historic nesting/ foraging areas. Metal posts are most often used, then string with flagging is attached to connect each post. Finally, official "Do Not Enter" signs are attached to the posts every 2-3 posts.While the posts at Democrat Point have been placed, they still need to be pounded into the sand, strung together, “flagged” and signed. Our aim is to fully install as much of the fence surrounding Democrat Point as possible!Natural Hazards: While there very little chance of poison ivy or ticks, the beach will be very exposed and is generally 10-20 degrees colder than the rest of Long Island. Please bring extra layers/ a windbreaker! We have had volunteers leave early in previous years because they did not bring warm enough layers and were cuaght off guard by the windchill!.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ff7d3f90-1d7a-11f1-8026-d96a43b74dca-rimg-w555-h740-dcd1c3b9-gmir.jpg How the fence looks after it has been installed.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/ffac8cf0-1d7a-11f1-bcfe-6393e3a0d4d3-rimg-w555-h740-dca2968d-gmir.jpg As the birds have already begun to return, this will be our last chance to remove any litter and trash before nesting gets underway. Once the fences are in place, only qualified plover stewards are allowed to enter the protected areas for surveys. (Pictured above, two returning Piping Plovers at Democrat Point, 2023).
