Since Birds of Poole Harbour began in 2012, we’ve seen a wonderful rise in interest and support for our work right across the harbour. Our various projects and research have seen us working with private landowners, tenant farmers, BCP council, RSPB, National Trust and the Dorset Wildlife Trust and its through these progressive partnerships we’ve been able boost the profile of bird conservation, preservation and observation in and around Poole Harbour.

Now, we’re thrilled to be announcing a new partnership with Osprey Packs, a world leader in outdoor and all weather terrain rucksack and backpacks. By some kind of amazing coincidence, their European head office is here in Poole, where of course, it just so happens we’re carrying out our Osprey translocation project, in an effort to restore a south coast breeding population right here in Dorset. Osprey Packs have kindly offered to tell our story to their international customer base and we’re hoping that within a few years Osprey will be breeding right here in Poole Harbour, providing an exciting story to tell.

Below are a few words from our new partners and we look forward to seeing this relationship grow as our Osprey project develops over the coming years.
