ESSEX — Dave Rimmer can tell you just about all there is to know about ospreys. As director of stewardship and founder of Essex County Greenbelt’s osprey program, Rimmer has spent decades making wildlife and land conservation his mission.
After almost 25 years of leadership, Rimmer will be taking a step back from his role at Greenbelt when he retires at the end of the month. To the delight of co-workers, Rimmer has agreed to stay on part time as osprey program director, which has been a labor of love for him since 2008.
