Osprey Education

Montana Osprey Project

Osprey Monitoring and Education Program

CFWEP in Missoula partners with the Montana Osprey Project to provide osprey banding, monitoring, and education. Funding for the education and outreach arms of this program comes from the Natural Resource Damage Program (NRDP). Our osprey education program includes the following:

Nine days of monitoring for heavy metals in the Clark Fork Watershed from Warm Springs to Missoula
Sampling and analysis of osprey feathers and blood
Monitoring days and education within each Clark Fork community
Education in elementary schools with The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on the Flathead Reservation

Osprey Cams

As part of our work, we run a live streaming nest cam in Missoula (Hellgate Canyon).
