Standards for Bird Safe Buildings – Signed by Mayor

ByGGBA
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee signed the Standards for Bird Safe Buildings into law. The American Bird Conservancy (ABC) and Golden Gate Bird Alliance hailed the signing into law of new Standards for Bird Safe Buildings by San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee. The signing follows the unanimous approval of the bill by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors last month. The Standards will greatly reduce bird deaths and injuries resulting from collisions with buildings in the city. They include sections on safer windows, night lighting, and the construction of wind turbines in the urban environment.
