More than 900 million birds are killed each year in collisions with glass windows. Hoping to cut the number down, Assemblymember Deborah Glick will be holding a panel presentation on the environmental effects of avian collisions with the built environment, so that people can learn what to do to address the situation.
Panelists will include Glick, who is the senior member of the Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee; Susan Elbin, the Audubon Society’s director of conservation and science; and Guy Maxwell, a partner with Ennead Architects.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Tues., Nov. 17, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at The New School, 63 Fifth Ave., Room UL104. Event co-sponsors include state Senator Brad Hoylman and Councilmembers Corey Johnson and Rosie Mendez.
