Maurice River Recollections Project
Osprey Nest Anecdotes
Doc Nemore
Erected in 2006 in the memory of a dear member of Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc., Dr. Edward Nemore. Ed was a beloved doctor to all his patients. He came to our area with his wife, Dr. Jill Mortensen. He loved the river and all its creatures. His practice was established to help the underprivileged but grew to be diverse. The nest is located in view of his home where his wife of many years can appreciate the unfolding of each new nesting season.

Osprey Colony Project
Introduction Welcome to Citizens United's River Recollections Project. These stories are but a few of my memories associated to osprey nesting structures along the Maurice River and its tributaries. It is part of a larger project including an interactive map of the of river reach lore, live campfire recollection events, documentaries, presentations and archives held by the organization. I believe the greatest connection that people have to a river is the sharing of their bond to it through the telling of stories. These stories are accurate accounts from my perspective the truth, as I know it. The stories are designed to give you insight into some life history of the osprey but are primarily designed to give you a flavor for being an osprey volunteer. Over 150 volunteers have been involved in the construction of the osprey platforms. Sincerely,
