For our first osprey platform install of the new year we're looking for at least six volunteers to assist. The platform is being installed to provide a safe place for ospreys to nest that's away from the Rutgers University Marine Field Station boardwalk. The pair has nested on an old group of short pilings which is prone to predation. The new platform will be placed nearby and can be carried out onto the marsh from the road, so no boat is required. Interested volunteers should bring warm work gloves, knee boots or hip/chest waders to wear.

Please RSVP to Ben Wurst so you can be notifed if adverse weather causes the install to be canceled.
