Join Nature Nova Scotia and the Friends of the Public Gardens in Halifax for a fun kick off to Global Bird Rescue Week!

Global Bird Rescue uses the Global Bird Collision Mapper (GBCM) to document bird-building collisions worldwide. Each year, during the end of September or beginning of October, teams and individuals take to the streets to search for birds that have collided with buildings in their community, to social media to raise awareness about this conservation issue, and to make their own windows bird-safe. Nature Nova Scotia coordinates a bird monitoring program in Halifax and we and the Friends of the Public Gardens are members of the Bird Friendly Halifax coalition, a group of NGOs, researchers, and citizens working to make Halifax a friendlier place for our avian neighbours. For Bird Rescue Week, we’re profiling the danger of window strikes and helping Haligonians take action for urban bird conservation.

We have a family-friendly bird walk planned, Bird-Friendly coffee tastings, and we’re giving away Feather Friendly anti-window strike tapes!

Stay tuned for the full schedule and how to participate!
