Birds & Buildings Conference Planned for Chicago

U.S. buildings are blamed for the deaths of nearly one billion birds each year, a statistic that bird experts will address during the first conference anywhere focused on designing buildings to be more bird-friendly. Chicago’s Department of the Environment, Department of Planning and Development, and Ornithological Society are planning the conference, “Birds & Buildings: Creating a Safer Environment,” for March 11, 2005, with sponsorship from a number of organizations, including BuildingGreen.
