Saving UMass Birds

Help us raise money to install a bird-friendly adhesive to the north side of the atrium on the Studio Arts building. Every year, millions of birds die by colliding with reflective glass windows. UMass student, Margaret Lepeshkin created a design for this space that allows the birds to see the wall of glass and avoid such collisions. These installations have been proven to dramatically reduce bird-deaths by window collisions. Your help with this project is an important step towards making UMass Bird Friendly!
