We are in the process of monitoring our buildings for bird strikes. Three buildings are being monitored. Volunteers would walk the perimeter of select buildings on a regular basis observing the ground and windows for evidence of bird/building collisions following a prescribed protocol. Volunteer will complete and submit a form on a regular basis. Observations should be done as close to sunrise/dawn and sunset/dusk as possible.
The data collected will be sued to help inform decision making regarding prevention of bird/building collisions on campus.

Mission Statement
Ambler Arboretum of Temple University is an educational resource modeling the art and science of horticulture and environmental responsibility while fostering research, celebrating the achievements of women in horticulture, preserving the historic significance of the campus and highlighting the health benefits of nature, plants and gardening.
Description
On September 1, 2021 the Ambler Arboretum was struck by a confirmed EF2 Tornado that was spawned from Hurricane Ida. The damage to the arboretum's collections was catastrophic. The Arboretum lost more than 500 trees within its cultivated areas and many more in the natural woodland areas. Volunteering at this time is focused on the recovery and rebuilding from this disaster.
Temple University Ambler has a long history of horticulture and landscape design. Established as the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women in 1910, the 187-acre campus represents a unique mix of natural and designed landscapes. The gardens serve as excellent outdoor learning laboratories for numerous classes and as a source of inspiration for the campus and local communities.
The Ambler Arboretum of Temple University has a diverse range of learning gardens, from formal perennial gardens to a green roof garden, which provide a rich diversity of garden experiences.
