Tackling Light Pollution as a Community
DarkSky Olympic Peninsula is made up of a group of dedicated individuals that advocate for responsible lighting that protects night skies, supports public and ecological health, and reduces energy waste. DarkSky Advocates come from all walks of life. We’re not just stargazers; we’re photographers, biologists, teachers, civic leaders, retail clerks, engineers, retirees…
