Mission Statement
The Virginia Osprey Foundation is dedicated to the protection of Osprey and their habitats in Virginia. Through science, education, advocacy and community engagement, our mission is to foster a sustainable environment where Osprey thrive.
The Virginia Osprey Festival is one of the largest festivals of its kind celebrating the osprey’s annual return to Colonial Beach, birdwatching and the area's abundant natural resources.

Support the mission of the Virginia Osprey Foundation by making a financial contribution today. Your support helps protect osprey habitats, fund conservation education, and preserve Virginia’s waterways for future generations. Every donation—large or small—makes a meaningful impact in keeping these magnificent birds thriving.

The Virginia Osprey Festival in Colonial Beach would like to express its appreciation to the Potomac River Fisheries Commission and its Executive Director, Ronald Owens, for their support and use of its facilities to the festival over the years. Please visit their website and become familiar with this valuable organization located within the Town of Colonial Beach.
From Joanie Millward, President of the Virginia Osprey Foundation. Please consider becoming a member of The International Osprey Foundation. They are an amazing organization and have been an amazing partner.
