In Summer 2017, ospreys nested on the cell phone tower at the Bolton Transfer Station on Forbush Mill Road and in the last two Summers an osprey family has nested on a tree in the pond at Vaughn Hills, but will we see more?

After a long campaign by Rona Balco, on Friday 17 November 2023, a new osprey platform was installed on top of a telephone pole at Bolton Flats south of Route 117, but clearly visible from Bolton Orchards. The pole had been erected for this purpose a year earlier by National Grid. Ayacht lent their bucket truck.
We will be watching next Summer…
