LEWES — Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is hosting a training event Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon at Cape Henlopen State Park, 42 Cape Henlopen Drive, to teach volunteers to protect beach-nesting birds.

The event will include information on federally threatened piping plovers and state-endangered American oystercatchers.

Following training, volunteers will be stationed at the boundaries of the nesting areas to ensure the birds are not disturbed by beachgoers.
