Project Description:

Participation in monitoring an osprey nest is intended to accomplish three things.  1) To get children in the habit of observing the wildlife around them on a regular basis, 2) To create an interest in and to teach 'citizen science' methods of observations and collecting data and 3) To instill in children a sense of the value of volunteerism, particularly as it relates to the environment. 

Become a Citizen Scientist

For enrichment children are encouraged to visit Honeymoon Island Nature Center and the Osprey Trail at Honeymoon Island. 

Additional Curriculum and Learning Opportunities:

This is a Cooperative Project of Public Service of New Hampshire, Audubon Society of Newhampshire and New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
