Anti-Collision Course: Saving Birds from Our Windows

Did you know that up to a billion birds die each year from collisions with windows, many within residential areas? Join Swaner and the Great Salt Lake Audubon to learn about this significant but preventable threat to bird populations.

This talk will explore the causes of bird window collisions and present a systems thinking approach that integrates bird safe window solutions with native plant landscaping. Attendees will learn about various products and strategies that have been proven to reduce bird strikes by up to 95 percent, along with practical, science based methods to promote healthier, more resilient ecosystems in their communities.

This event is part of Swaner's Walks, Talks, and Workshops program and is designed for adults. It is provided in partnership with Great Salt Lake Audubon. It is free to attend this event and open to the public.
