Initiatives & Projects

Build an Osprey Nesting Platform

The Osprey feeds almost exclusively on fish and often nests on platforms or dead trees near lakes. Our goal is to work to establish platforms in a safe location for them.


Eagle Nesting Support (Protection, Not Building)

For the Bald Eagle, the focus is on protecting natural nesting sites

 

Create Fertilizer Buffer Zones

Work with farmers and lakeshore landowners in creating buffer zones to curtail fertilizer and herbicides from reaching streams and the lake.
