American Bird Conservancy Doubles Capacity to Test Bird-Friendly Glass

American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has joined forces with Washington College in Maryland to double its capacity to test and rate glass and other materials for their ability to deter bird collisions. The move will help ABC meet high demand for testing from glass manufacturers — a vital component of the organization’s work to reduce the threat of window collisions for birds.

“It was easy to say yes to this partnership because of how incredible it is for bird conservation,” said Michael Hardesty, Director of the River and Field Campus at Washington College. “The glass testing program represents the full spectrum of science moving to action.”
