The project has supported ospreys since 2004 when they came to the Snowdonia National Park to breed after being absent from Wales for decades.
[1] The ospreys spend every winter in West Africa and travel thousands of miles to return to Glaslyn every year to breed and raise their chicks.
[1] In September 2013, the Project was handed over to a Community Interest Company called Bywyd Gwyllt Glaslyn Wildlife.
[citation needed] The original osprey Welsh pair returned every year and bred successfully until 2015 when the male bird did not reappear from Africa in the spring.
They continued to breed until 2021 when the male was injured and the chicks which had hatched did not survive, but the pair both returned in 2022 and successfully raised another brood.
