Central Vermont Public Service, in cooperation with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, invites you to learn about the day-to-day lives of the beloved ospreys at Lake Arrowhead in Georgia, VT. 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. Thanks to public education, construction of artificial nesting platforms and efforts to restrict access to nesting sites at Lake Arrowhead, dozens of chicks have hatched and fledged at Lake Arrowhead since our efforts began, with up to four successful nests in some years. We welcome you to visit the ospreys and learn about Meeri through this website, and encourage you to follow Meeri's example in protecting and preserving this magnificent, unique relative of hawks, falcons and eagles.
