DOEE seeks eligible entities to reduce bird collisions in the District by promoting voluntary, high-impact retrofits of existing buildings. This grant is intended to 1) develop a priority list that identifies existing buildings that pose the greatest risk of bird collision to accelerate bird-safe improvements; 2) educate building owners and operators about the benefits of bird friendly retrofits to their existing buildings; and 3) pilot the direct implementation of at least one high-risk building retrofit during the grant period. The amount available for the project is $150,000.
