The Chronicle of Higher Education recently published a story about the work of FP&M Campus Planning & Landscape Architecture to monitor and ameliorate bird-strike fatalities on campus buildings.
UW-Madison joined the movement more than two years ago, but Williams said the university is only in the fact-finding stage. The preparatory work for actually making changes is much more “nuanced” than many would think, he said.
