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.

With help from our friends at Pathway to Stewardship and Kinship, we and our community collaborators were able to successfully install new habitat features at R. F.

Bird-Safe Windows
The students and staff at Highland Heights are all passionate about the environment, wildlife, and birds! They recognized the need to do their part to make their community more welcoming and safer for birds and have been provided with several bird habitat features as well as the first phase of their Feather Friendly bird window collision deterrent markers, installed by our partners at Kawartha Bird Control. Many thanks to the Pathway Project again for making this all possible, and great job Highland Heights!
Kawartha Wildlife Centre
Bird-Safe Windows:
Thanks to an awesome initiative started by the volunteers of KWC, we are pleased to report that all glass surfaces at the centre have been treated with Feather Friendly bird window collision deterrent markers. With so many potential patients resulting from window collisions, the Kawartha Wildlife Centre are proving the importance of this vital conservation tool.
