We are excited to bring back Okploverfest, a fun fall celebration of Alabama's plover species!
The Alabama coast is a critical nesting and wintering habitat for these small charismatic shorebirds, two of which are Species of Conservation Concern within the state.
Whether you are a bird lover, brew lover, or somewhere in between, stop by Braided River Brewing and celebrate with us!
We will be at Braided River Brewing Company from 3:00-8:00 PM.
This is a family-friendly event with activities including:
Activities for kids!
Free swag for folks that come learn about these beach dependent birds!
On-site custom t-shirt printing with hand-carved plover blocks by Adrienne Clow, Exhibits Director at Eastern Shore Arts Center. All proceeds from shirt sales will go directly back into coastal bird conservation in Mobile and Baldwin County!
Our team of plover-experts will be on site to share fun facts about these adorable birds and how you can help the Alabama coast be a great place to be a plover!
A plover-themed selfie station!
Trivia and more! Sip, learn, and join a team of folks hitting the beach with knowledge of how to help our feathered friends by taking the Plover Pledge! A commitment to practicing what’s best for the nest on our beaches.
It’s going to be an afternoon of plover-filled fun, so grab a friend and we will see you there! A huge thank you to Braided River Brewing for hosting us for this event and for being an avid supporter of conservation organizations in our area.
