Plans for 2009:

We are raising the necesary funds to fit a cutting edge gps satelite transmitter to a 2009 fledgling from the Marsh Meadows nest. Donations can be made by clicking above.
CIRP is awaiting final approval to build and install a handicapped-accessible observation deck at the Water Treatment Plant, just across North Road from the Marsh Meadow's nest. Permanently mounted all-weather binoculars have been donated for public viewing of nest activity. Funding is needed for the deck and educational signs.
Several old nest platforms will be replaced this spring.

Purchasing Osprey Nesting Poles
Complete and installed nest poles for suitable sites on the island can be purchased from the raptor project for a $1000.00 donation.
