Bethel workshop looks at how to reduce bird strike deaths

BETHEL — Barbara Murphy, development director at Mahoosuc Land Trust, will discuss bird deaths from hitting winsows, walls and other structures, a costly threat to the bird population.

Murphy will speak from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 16, at Valentine Farm Conservation Center, 162 North Road, about the problem and will discuss materials and DIY projects to reduce window strikes while maintaining clear views of the outdoors.
It is estimated that more than one billion birds are killed each year in the United States when they hit glass windows, walls and other structures, making this threat one of the most costly to bird populations.
There are many evaluated and easy-to-use products that can help homeowners reduce the needless carnage.
