“Return of the Osprey” Celebration
Mar

“Return of the Osprey” Celebration

Get ready for another season of this conservation champion, the Osprey, North Fork’s beloved and iconic comeback kid. From beach clean-ups to Osprey nesting platform installations, prepare for this fish-eating raptor’s return through this annual celebration. It is important this time of year to remove as much marine debris as possible since Osprey often pluck hazardous items like marine rope, fishing line, and balloon strings from the shoreline as nesting material, leading to potential entanglements. Mattituck Park District is hosting this event again at Breakwater Beach. Besides assisting with the installation of another Osprey nesting platform and marine debris cleanup, we will also help install the threatened and endangered shorebird fencing for this important North Fork nesting site. Meet a few of our local environmental organizations to learn how they help protect and improve our precious natural resources.
