Osprey Nesting Towers

In fall 2020, SAS partnered with Indiana DNR and Duke Energy to install a new osprey nesting platform at Monroe Lake, Fairfax SRA, Bay View Shelter area.

This project was initiated by DNR with the goal of replacing a utility pole platform that had been installed years ago on the peninsula adjacent to Fairfax beach. Osprey had periodically attempted to nest in the old location but were always pressured off by the public.
