Making New York Safer for Birds: The Impact of Bird-Friendly Design and Legislation

As the most comprehensive bird-friendly building legislation in the U.S., the measure requires all new construction and significant renovations built in New York City beginning in January 2021 to use bird-friendly materials. Join us for a discussion on the findings and lessons learned from the initial years of Local Law 15’s implementation, as well as prior and related work, exploring projects that have successfully incorporated bird-safe materials, the legislation’s impacts on local and migratory bird populations, and the development of new bird-friendly building materials. Join Daniel Piselli, Director of Sustainability at FXCollaborative; Dustin Partridge, Director of Conservation and Science, at New York City Audubon; Florian Batik, Director Region North America at Arcon (Manufacturer of Ornilux); and a representative from National Window Film (Manufacturer of Bird Divert) to discuss this important issue from the architectural, conservation, and materials and manufacturing perspectives.
