Maurice River Recollections Project
Osprey Nest Anecdotes
Peek Preserve
In 1995, a few years after the Natural Lands Trust had purchased the Peek property for a preserve site, we erected this nest. Visitors can get a good view of it from the boardwalk on the Preserve. We believe it offers a wonderful opportunity for people to enjoy seeing osprey raise their young. The Peek preserve is accessible from Route 47 one and a half miles south of the junction of Routes 49 &47.

Osprey Colony Project
Introduction Welcome to Citizens United's River Recollections Project. These stories are but a few of my memories associated to osprey nesting structures along the Maurice River and its tributaries. It is part of a larger project including an interactive map of the of river reach lore, live campfire recollection events, documentaries, presentations and archives held by the organization. I believe the greatest connection that people have to a river is the sharing of their bond to it through the telling of stories. These stories are accurate accounts from my perspective the truth, as I know it. The stories are designed to give you insight into some life history of the osprey but are primarily designed to give you a flavor for being an osprey volunteer. Over 150 volunteers have been involved in the construction of the osprey platforms. Sincerely,
