Saving a Species: Osprey
Once a rare sight, Ospreys are now seen in Essex County soaring over coastlines, diving into waters to catch fish and perching on their large nests.
Since 2008, Greenbelt has focused on Osprey conservation by building and maintaining nesting platforms, collecting data, educating the public, and collaborating on research to advance Osprey conservation.

Osprey Annie & Squam will be in southern climates until Spring. Join us then when the OspreyCam will again be live, and they return and (hopefully) add new chicks to the Osprey population in Northeast Massachusetts.
