Creating Art to Save birds workshop - No supplies needed! Choose from two sessions: 10am or 1pm. No registration required; first come, first served. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Each year in the United States, an estimated 624 million birds die from window collisions—but we can help prevent these strikes. Join us for an engaging workshop where you’ll learn practical solutions for bird-safe windows with Miyoko Chu, Senior Director of Communications at the Cornell Lab. Then, create replica birds using repurposed fabric with artist and Syracuse University professor Holly Greenberg as part of a crowdsourced, large-scale art installation<https://www.hollygreenberg.com/bird-collisions-anthropocene>. With the public’s help, Holly is creating over 10,000 birds to memorialize the number of birds killed in window strikes in 2023 in a single city, Chicago.
