An advisor with expertise in the planning process will advise on how to promote bird-friendly design for new and retrofit projects, for example by putting in place a system allowing volunteers to track development applications/building permits and know how to approach the right people (planning dept., building industry), and will work with Safe Wings to ensure that projects are bird-friendly.

They have also requested help positioning bird-friendly design as a cost-neutral option that can enhance energy efficiency and as part of this may consider a local bird-friendly certification program as well as bird-friendly project checklists.
