Jersey City Birds is thrilled to join the Bird Collision Prevention Alliance, a coalition of agencies, conservation groups, scientists, architects, industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and engaged community members committed to making our built environment safer for birds.
At the Alliance’s fall meeting in Chicago, we spent three days in talks, workshops, and conversations with researchers, architects, and advocates from across the U.S. and Canada.
As part of a policy roundtable with the American Bird Conservancy and others, we shared how Jersey City passed its bird-friendly buildings ordinance and answered questions from attendees working toward similar protections in their own communities. We also heard how organizers in other cities are approaching collision prevention, from documenting window strikes to advocating for changes in building design.
The summit took place at the bird-friendly Chicago Architecture Center, where we explored Flyway City, a visionary exhibition that shows how architects can design buildings and public spaces with birds in mind.
We’re grateful to the summit organizers for bringing this community together and look forward to continuing to learn from others doing this work.
