From his new book The Bird-Friendly City, Timothy Beatley, PhD, presents new ideas around how cities can reduce dangers to birds and design buildings and urban neighborhoods that make room for biodiversity.

Join us to learn about bird conservation efforts worldwide, from swifts in London to Burrowing Owls in Phoenix. Beatley places urban bird conservation efforts in the larger context of the global movement towards “Biophilic Cities,” cities that put nature at the center of their design and planning and that recognize the innate need for human connection with other species and the natural world.
