NEXT MEETING

Monday April 27, 2026 7:30 PM

Julie-Ann Prentice  - "Little Bird, Big World – Piping Plover Conservation in Ontario"

"Piping Plovers returned to Ontario in 2007 after a 30-year absence. In 2026, we are celebrating their 20th breeding season back on our beaches. Find out how you can help this charismatic shorebird and ensure we celebrate many more successful seasons to come."

"JulieAnn completed her education at Fleming College and Trent University, completing an advanced diploma in Fish and Wildlife Technology and a bachelor's degree in Environmental and Resource Science and discovering a love for birds along the way. Piping Plovers stole her heart during a short-term contract with Birds Canada in 2023, leading her to return to the program in a longer-term capacity the following year. She now works as the Ontario Piping Plover Field Biologist, supporting field and office-based program activities across the province. Julie is passionate about integrating outreach, education, and volunteer engagement with science-based action to protect and recover the Piping Plover."
