Carleton University sociology students conducted a city-wide survey to assess community knowledge about bird-window collisions and their willingness to take action. This interdisciplinary project allowed students to engage with community members and provided the opportunity to attend a workshop on bird-window collisions. The workshop was hosted by the Community Association for Environmental Sustainability (CAFES) and allowed the public to learn more about the issue through presentations given by Safe Wings Ottawa, architects, students studying bird-window collisions, and students conducting the survey. Through this outreach opportunity, community members were given information and resources to treat windows and encouraged to take action to make their homes safer for birds. 

By providing opportunities for community members to learn more about conservation issues and that their actions can make a positive impact, cumulative efforts can help lead to successful outcomes.
