George Brennan reports that the town of Sandwich will host a training session on July 15, 2008, for volunteers interested in helping to protect piping plover and least tern birds at Town Neck Beach. The volunteers will educate beachgoers about the bird habitats and report infractions to natural resources officers and the police. The move comes after the town received a public scolding by state and federal environmental officials last month for failing to protect the endangered plover birds.
