Get a hands-on look at NYC Bird Alliance’s work to reduce bird collisions and make the city’s buildings safer for birds. Join NYC Bird Alliance scientist Katherine Chen and advocacy leader Saman Mahmood, along with a dedicated Project Safe Flight volunteer, to learn how community science can drive real conservation and policy solutions. We’ll travel a bird collision monitoring route in Lower Manhattan, learn how community science volunteers collect vital collision data, and visit sites where bird-friendly retrofits have been made.

Registration required. Must be a current NYC Bird Alliance member to register. 

Accessibility: The tour will be traveling on concrete sidewalks and flat terrain. Restrooms will be available along the route.

Directions: The 1, 4, 5, A, C, E, J, R, W, and Z trains stop within a few blocks of the meeting location.
