Environmental Stewardship: Protecting Birds of Prey

Protecting the Osprey

As New Hampshire’s largest electric utility, NU subsidiary Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) has long been a partner in osprey recovery. 

PSNH provides crews and equipment to erect nesting platforms for ospreys. Crews also move nests from potentially dangerous sites near power lines to safer locations.  

Nesting structures built and maintained by PSNH are expected to get more and more use as the osprey population grows throughout the state.
