Osprey Restoration

Starting in 1988, CVPS, the Department of Fish and Wildlife and local resident Meeri Zetterstrom worked together to help endangered ospreys reclaim Lake Arrowhead and begin a new chapter in their remarkable story of revival.

Meeri was the catalyst for CVPS and the state's effort, and her single-minded determination was instrumental in work to preserve ospreys in Vermont and educate the public about them.  Thanks in part to Meeri, CVPS and the state's efforts, the osprey was removed from the state endangered species list in the spring of 2005!  Meeri died in 2010 after more than two decades of work on osprey’s behalf.
