Fleming Bird Conservation Committee
As part of the international effort to conserve bird populations across North America and in alignment with the ethos of Fleming College, the Frost Student Association is proud to spearhead the formation of the Fleming Bird Conservation Committee (FBCC). The FBCC, starting as a pilot at the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, is composed of students, faculty, and college representatives, has come together with the goal to transform the Frost Campus into Ontario’s first-ever Bird-Friendly college Campus. To accomplish this goal, our initial efforts will focus on securing the windows at the Frost Campus using deterrent decals.
