HELP WITH OSPREY TRACKING
I am hoping to sat tag four new ospreys in the Highlands this year - at least one of the tags is already funded but I am appealing for help with funding. The GPS satellite tags are now costing in the UK just over £3000 each and the annual download costs are about £700. Full sponsorship of either amount would be acknowledged on the individual bird's webpage. If you can help please send cheques, made out to Highland Foundation for Wildlife, to me at Middle Lodge, Dunphail, Forres, Moray IV36 2QQ or email me to discuss a donation or sponsorship and for details of our bank transfer details. Many thanks. Roy
LIFE OF OSPREYS - sorry,my book is sold out - we have plans to rewrite and publish a new version next winter.
Information
The Highland Wildlife Foundation is a non-membership charitable trust dedicated to wildlife conservation and research, with a special emphasis on species recovery projects and the restoration of natural ecosystems. Our aim is to carry out important work in the field through project-based activity and to keep administrative overheads to a minimum.
We rely on donations and grants to carry out our projects, and after the success of our 2010 projcts we have some great ideas for 2011. We'd really appreciate donations for the satellite tracking work.
Satellite tagging is expensive (over £2000 per transmitter and a year's download data costs £500 or more) so we really appreciate donations and grants to carry out new research and to maintain our conservation work and this website. Please get it touch if you might like to help through a donation or by sponsoring a new bird's transmitter or the annual tracking charges. Or visit the Donate link above. Many thanks. Roy Dennis
