--Apple-Mail-3-523915226 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, Some of you might be interested in volunteering for a new Ecology Action Centre program looking at how many birds collide with buildings in downtown Halifax/Dartmouth. Meeting next Tuesday; details below. Cheers, Andy Horn Halifax Dear Volunteers What: Volunteer information session for new bird monitoring program. Where: At the Ecology Action Centre, 2705 Fern Ln. When: Tuesday April 7th , 2009 at 5 pm. Why: We currently have no information on how many birds are colliding with buildings in metro. Contact: Noel Taussig: birdsareback@ecologyaction.ca 442-0300 http://www.ecologyaction.ca/content/birds Background: Birds are faced with a number of threats including habitat destruction, pollution and pesticide use which threaten their chances of survival. The effect of light pollution and reflective windows in cities has also shown to be fatal to birds as they make their way north to their summer homes, and south to their wintering grounds. As many of you are aware, the birds are slowly returning to Nova Scotia. Birds migrating at night are confused by bright lights and lit buildings. We need your help. Volunteers are needed to monitor the downtown area early in the morning for bird collisions and casualties during the spring and fall migration periods. The purpose of the monitoring is to determine if the city is a real threat to birds, (as many as ten million birds collide with buildings each year in Toronto.) With the results of the monitoring, we will be able to take the appropriate action to get developers and building managers to adopt techniques making buildings more bird friendly. An information session will be held on Tuesday April 7, 2009, 5 pm at the Ecology Action Centre, 2705 Fern Ln. We are also looking for individuals who would be interested in monitoring lighthouses. Hope to see you there. Thanks again for your continued support. -- Charlene Boyce Young Development & Outreach Coordinator Ecology Action Centre 2705 Fern Lane Halifax NS B3K 4L3 902.442.0198 (p) 902.405.3716 (f) --Apple-Mail-3-523915226 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Some = of you might be interested in volunteering for a new Ecology Action = Centre program looking at how many birds collide with buildings in = downtown Halifax/Dartmouth.
