Ospreys often use utility poles for nesting. Osprey nests built on utility poles may pose a threat to the birds and can jeopardize system reliability through outages and damage to equipment.
The PLP Raptor Protector Platform offers maintenance-free, lightweight aluminum alternative to wood construction. The aluminum platform is a unitized solution that can be easily moved in the event the nest is abandoned. It is ideal for quickly and easily relocating avian nests from utility structures. This allows utility work to continue, helping to reduce or eliminate outages and safeguard avian life. The RAPTOR PROTECTOR Platform is available with nest retention posts and/or a perch.
