DEEP Uses Menunkatuck’s Osprey Platform Design

Two osprey platforms at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, CT had significant damage in Super Storm Sandy and needed to be replaced. Park management contacted Menunkatuck for the plans for the platform that John Picard designed and that we have been using for the last six years. 

Volunteers from Dominion Energy built two platforms following the Menunkatuck plans. On October 10, 2013, Dennis Riordan and Terry Shaw joined the Dominion volunteers and Patrick Comins of Audubon Connecticut to install the new platforms. The Harkness staff was very happy with the result and cannot wait until the ospreys return next spring.
