Our Successes
Auk’s Lodge Bird-Safe Windows - Final Installation:
It’s been over a year of fundraising, coordinating, and leading the way in conservation for the Frost Student Association. This team has put their commitment to bird safety first by finalizing the bird-safe window treatments on all the windows at the Auk’s Lodge and creating an on-campus environment that is that much more sustainable by installing Feather Friendly window markers to decrease bird strikes.
