With support from the PEI Wildlife Conservation Fund and Raspberry Point Oysters, TREC has been working to support Osprey populations in our watershed. We have done this by installing an Osprey perch along Hope River at Raspberry Point Oyster Co. Tours. This new perch will support Osprey populations by providing safe nesting habitat.
Providing these man-made perches can also dissuade Ospreys from making their nests on electrical poles with live transformers and wires that can be dangerous for the birds and potentially cause power outages.
As part of this project, TREC created an informational brochure which will be given out on Raspberry Point Oysters boat tours at the location of the perch. If you would like to read more about this project and about Ospreys you can visit the Resources page of our website, troutriverec.ca or click the link: here to find a digital brochure.
