How You Can Help

1 - Send this letter today

You can help tower owners learn about the benefits of switching from non-flashing lights to flashing ones. Flashing lights reduce bird collisions by as much as 70 percent. Plus, tower owners can save on electricity, maintenance costs, and improve safety. According to the FAA, over 10,000 towers now have bird-friendly lights, helping both tower owners and making bird migration much safer.
