Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists

Picture



Welcome to the Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists (LNWC) web site. We are a chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation (NCWF) - a community based organization established for the purposes of environmental education, appreciation of wildlife and natural history, and conservation of wildlife habitat and natural resources.

LIVE Osprey Nest Cam

LIVE Heron Rookery Cam


EarthCam and the Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists are proud to bring you a live streaming, bird’s eye view, of an osprey nest and heron rookery located on Lake Norman in Mooresville, NC.  The osprey nesting platform, located in the shallow water surrounding a small wooded island, is one of over seven-dozen platforms constructed by the organization over the past decade through grants from the Catawba-Wateree Habitat Enhancement Program. The heron rookery platforms are located near Heron Island and are one of many platforms constructed by LNWC and grouped together at several locations around the lake. LNWC is a community based organization established for the purpose of environmental education, appreciation of wildlife and natural history, and conservation of wildlife habitat and natural resources.  Offering an opportunity to view an active osprey nest provides a unique educational experience to the public and is a testament to LNWC’s commitment to achieving the organization’s vision - to protect and enhance the natural resources and wildlife habitats of the greater Lake Norman area, for all to enjoy.

NOTE: We are currently having a Battery issue with the Web Cams. We need to replace the 4 batteries in each location that are over 4 years old. Osprey's had already laid eggs at that point and we are not allowed to disturb the Osprey nest. Next year prior to the Ospreys return we plan on replacing all batteries. LNWC will do a fund raiser to pay for the batteries.

 Vision Statement

“The Vision of the Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists is to protect and enhance the natural resources and wildlife habitats of the greater Lake Norman area, for all to enjoy.”
