Please consider passing this information along to your contacts in other
cities who might be interested in starting a Lights Out program... The
photos on the website tell the story of the great compliance we've gotten
with this program. <br><br>
Audubon has developed a guide for cities across the country to form
partnerships to save birds’ lives. A new website provides tools to
replicate Chicago’s “Lights Out” Program - a cooperative venture between
Audubon, the City of Chicago, and the Building Owners and Managers
Association of Chicago, in which Chicago’s tall buildings all turn off
their decorative lights during spring and fall bird migration. The
new national effort has the support of the International Building Owners
and Managers Association, Audubon, and Partners in Flight, and funding
from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. <br>
<br>
The how-to website,
<a href="http://www.lightsout.audubon.org/">www.lightsout.audubon.org</a>,
provides sample communications and recognition ideas, links to partner
organizations, and research findings. <br><br>
(Also - I have magnets with the Lights Out dates and the web address, if
anyone needs a few for building manager contacts. I will mail them
to all participating buildings.)<br><br>
Thanks.<br>
