Film Screening of Ploverville by Christy Frank
This story is about both birds and people. In May 2021, a pair of tiny shorebirds called Piping Plovers nested in Ohio for the first time in over 80 years. The Great Lakes population of Piping Plovers are critically endangered, so a group of over 100 volunteers banded together to protect them on the busy public beach they called home. The journey changed the lives of everyone involved, and the species made history with newly gathered information.
