"LOVE YOUR BEACH"
* * * * *
Thank you to all of our speakers and supporters who helped make our Speaker Series a success. With four very different yet exciting topics, we covered a lot of ground but always kept our Piping Plovers on the forefront.

COST: Free but donations are GREATLY appreciated.
A tax receipt can be issued for over $10.
The Ploverpalooza Speaker Series will spread awareness and link together the elements of our festival on topics including birdwatching, creating art, photography and ecological awareness. Tuesdays at 7:00pm at Nancy Island Historic Site.
"Better Living Through Birds"
Mark Wiercinski is a biologist and advanced birder. “Birding makes everything better – from the most common to the rarest, we have a great place to discover the joys of birding along the Georgian Bay shoreline”.
Mark gives a lively presentation that will increase your appreciation of birds. He puts the biology spin on things and finds interesting behaviours and adaptions that you just can't make up. “Birds make you cooler”.

| David McLeish -The Evolution of an Ecological Ethic |
“The Evolution of an Ecological Ethic”
David McLeish is a retired biologist with over 20 years working as a MNRF manager on the Great Lakes. David will provide a thought provoking look at human colonization of the planet, our use of its finite resources and how our environmental ethic is evolving. We have yet to reach consensus on how to sustain the planet for future generations. Can protecting Piping Plovers be part of the solution?
