Hi folks,
Warren Wilson will soon be constructing two new buildings on campus that
involve quite a bit of glass. Several of my students are spearheading an
effort to ensure bird safety as part of the construction process. They are
researching options for construction materials and funding opportunities
for this kind of work through our campus channels, but I wanted to inquire
here about any known foundations or individuals who might support
bird-friendly construction efforts on a college campus. Given our
popularity as a birding spot in WNC and our current status as a NWF
Certified Wildlife Habitat, I think our students could put together a
compelling proposal for funding if we find the right donor(s).
Please let me know if anything comes to mind!
Thanks,
Liesl Erb
