To Lake Norman and its tributaries
Boxes & Platforms
In partnership with the N.C. Wildlife Federation and Duke Energy, this program invites community members to help keep Lake Norman’s islands clean. By adopting an island, you’ll reduce litter, protect wildlife, and raise awareness about conservation.
In partnership with EarthCam, Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists brings you a real-time view into the lives of native wildlife here in North Carolina. While our Osprey and Heron Cams are currently out of season, they will return in the spring when the birds migrate back to Lake Norman.
In the meantime, explore the Red Wolf Cam in Columbia, NC, and get a look inside the den of the world’s most endangered wolf.
LNWC has installed over 80 nesting platforms across Lake Norman, supporting native bird populations and offering a meaningful window into their natural behaviors. This work reflects our mission to protect, conserve, and restore the wildlife and habitats of Lake Norman.
Check Back in Spring
The Osprey and Heron Cams will go live again when nesting season returns.
In partnership with EarthCam, Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists brings you a real-time, bird’s eye view of an osprey nest and heron rookery in Mooresville, NC.
LNWC has installed over 80 nesting platforms across Lake Norman, including the live osprey and heron cams you see here. These platforms, built through grants from the Catawba-Wateree Habitat Enhancement Program, support native bird populations and offer a rare educational window into their world.
This ongoing work reflects our mission: to protect, conserve, and restore the wildlife and habitat of Lake Norman.
Check out NCWF’s Red Wolf Cams in Columbia, NC, and get a glimpse inside the den of the world’s most endangered wolf.
