We aim to reduce bird collisions on campus by installing bird safe film and reducing light pollution that disorients birds by installing motion sensor lights and turning off lights at night.

Recently, we have:
– Installed bird safe film on 2 bridges of the ISYE building, around 850 square feet
– Installed motion sensor lights in 2 buildings
– Advocated reporting bird deaths on a website called dbird.org, and have received over 200 data points
