GA Coastal Management Program’s Brown Bag Lecture Series: Birds Georgia & Project Safe Flight
Wednesday, March 27 • 12 – 1 PM
Sarah Tolve with Birds Georgia will share about Project Safe Flight as part of GA DNR’s Coastal Management Program Brown Bag Lecture Series.
Birds Georgia is a member-supported, 501c3 nonprofit organization building places where birds and people thrive. We create bird-friendly communities through conservation, education, and community engagement.
Birds Georgia has been studying collision-related bird deaths through the Project Safe Flight Program since 2015. Project Safe Flight is a conservation effort to further understand the issue of bird/building collisions in the Atlanta metro area as well as in Brunswick and Savannah.
The goal of this project is to determine what species are colliding with buildings, how many birds are affected, what parts of town are problematic, and what can be done to make Georgia’s cities more bird friendly. Since fall 2015, more than 3,000 birds, representing 156 different species, have been collected.
