Reflections on a Transparent Problem:

PRESENTOR: John Turner 

Collisions with windows cause the deaths of hundreds of millions of birds a year in North America, making it the second most significant cause of bird mortality. John Turner will discuss the dimension and details of the problem and provide ideas on ways to address the problem at your home and buildings in your community.

John is a co-founder of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society and serves on its board. He is also a founding member of the Long Island Nature Organization (LINO). He is also on the board of the South Fork Natural History Society and the Four Harbors Audubon Society where he is Chair of the Conservation Committee.
