As the Earth Terns

Fund for a Better Waterfront and Our Tern present the remarkable story of the Common Tern in Hoboken!

Celebrate Earth Day with an engaging presentation and discussion about the efforts to save a colony of Common Terns who arrive each May to nest and raise hatchlings before returning in the fall to South America. Hoboken residents Noelle Thurlow and Jeffrey Train started Our Tern in 2024 after the owners of Pier 11, where the colony has returned each year for nearly a decade, attempted to dislodge the birds with netting and other devices.

Noelle and Jeff will speak about their innovative plan to ensure Hoboken’s official bird – the Common Tern – has a future on Hoboken’s waterfront.

This event takes place at the Hoboken Public Library (500 Park Ave) and is free to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
