The Tern and Plover Conservation Partnership is now online

In 1999, the Tern and Plover Conservation Partnership was formed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Today, it enjoys more than 15 partner organizations, including federal, state, and local agencies, civic groups, nonprofit nongovernmental organizations, sand and gravel companies, and other businesses. Its mission is to study and help to protect endangered Interior Least Terns, threatened Piping Plovers, and other at-risk species within the Platte, Loup, and Elkhorn River systems in Nebraska. It also is committed to educating the public about these species and involving local communities in conservation efforts. The partnership’s new web site, launched this spring, is generously hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln — check it out!
