Osprey Observation in Branford, CT
Community Outreach
 Education is so important to understand the need to save open space for the health and well being of the environment and the creatures and plants that live there. Through outreach programs, like the Osprey Observation Program, we hope that people will learn the great value of respecting the environment.   Peter Borgemeister
