Nico Wynd Golf Course wildlife nest relocation

Overview

Residents and officials at the Nico Wynd Golf Course in South Surrey are organizing efforts to relocate bald eagle and osprey nests. The initiative follows an arborist's assessment that the trees supporting the nests are unsafe due to rot, which poses an insurance risk to nearby homes if the trees fall during windstorms.

To mitigate the risk, a plan has been proposed to install tall poles, measuring 60 to 70 feet, equipped with platforms to host the birds. Wildlife biologist Myles Lamont and eagle expert David Hancock have been involved in the planning process. A community fundraiser was scheduled for August 13, 2026, with expected attendance from Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke. The relocation is intended to take place this fall after the eagles have migrated for the winter.
