Volunteer Osprey Monitor

Volunteers locate and monitor assigned nesting locations throughout Dennis. Volunteers record data about the nesting locations, the physical conditions of the structures, and nesting success. By monitoring Ospreys, we can ensure their conservation and protection, as well as identify structures that may need repairs or replacing. Please contact Tyler Maikath, the DCLT Outreach and Stewardship Coordinator, at [email protected] for more information.

Volunteers monitor designated DCLT properties at least twice annually. Land Stewards record evidence of property use, maintenance needs, any potential abuses of the conservation land, and wildlife and plant observations.
