SUMMARY:Screening: Defending the Dark
DESCRIPTION:Defending the Dark inspires and informs viewers on why it is important to preserve dark sky areas\, while emphasizing the unique dark sky environment of northern Maine. \nDark Skies benefit wildlife and their habitats\, reduces health and safety risks to humans\, saves energy\, and reduces costs. Light pollution has devastating effects on migrating birds\, native plants\, and pollinators. Defending the Dark tells the story of protecting the dark sky areas of Maine – the last such areas in the US east of the Rocky Mountains\, and what we can do in our own backyards to bring back the night sky. It’s more than just saving the stars: Dark skies need to be protected for our health\, safety\, nature\, and science. \nThis screening is free with a confirmed RSVP.

SUMMARY:Program: Dark Skies are for the Birds
DESCRIPTION:Do the effects of light pollution really affect the migration patterns of our avian friends? What are the bird constellations in the celestial night sky and how can I locate and see them?  What can I do to help make it less hazardous for birds during their migratory journeys and throughout the year? \nThree DarkSky Olympic Peninsula members and advocates will address and answer these and other questions as they explore the many ways our dark night sky is so very important to the survival of all birds and at the same time tell us centuries old avian heritage tales. They’ll continue with demonstrating the various ways anyone can make a difference in the protection and preservation of the darkness of the night sky not only for the sake of birds but also for the sake of humanity. \nThe program will include hands-on interactive displays\, a raffle prize or two for joining in on the activities\, and easy to apply takeaways to use anytime\, anywhere. \nLearn more and purchase tickets at https://olympicbirdfest.org

DESCRIPTION:Join the Kitsap Environmental Coalition plus DSOP members John Goar & Linda Kahananui for a presentation on Globe at Night\, an international citizen-science campaign to raise public awareness of the impact of light pollution by inviting citizen-scientists to measure & submit their night sky brightness observations. They’ll demonstrate how to use a Sky Quality Meter\, the main tool for measuring how dark your local night skies are. \nFor more information go to: https://www.kitsapenvironmentalcoalition.org/4-15-26-kecp-dark-skies-why-it-matters \n
