SAVE Wildlife
Through Conservation
Wildlife Center of Salt Lake’s mission of Conserving Utah native species through science, education, and rehabilitation is achieved through our core values of science, conservation, and integrity, which are overseen by advisory committees.
WCSL addresses avian window collisions through a focused, two-part program that combines data sharing with public education and outreach. WCSL documents bird admissions resulting from window collisions, collecting standardized information such as species, date of collision, location, time of day, direction, and outcome. Part 1 of this effort involves sharing this data with our partner organization, Tracy Aviary for their Salt Lake Avian Collision Survey. Part 2 of the program centers on education and outreach informed by our rehabilitation data. We engage community members, property owners, and institutional partners with science-based information on the impacts of avian window collisions and how they can be reduced or prevented.
