SUMMARY:Lights Out: Discover the Hidden Impacts of Light Pollution
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an eye-opening presentation\, “Lights Out\,” exploring how the glow of artificial light at night affects everything from migrating birds to our view of the Milky Way. \nLight pollution—sometimes called “ALAN\,” or artificial light at night—disrupts the natural rhythms of wildlife\, adds unnecessary CO₂ to our atmosphere\, and dims the stars that once guided travelers and songbirds alike. But the good news is that it’s a problem we can all help solve. In this one-hour program\, DarkSky Board Member and OPAS Member Patty Griffin looks at how light pollution interferes with the delicate balance of ecosystems\, especially for birds navigating by starlight during migration. You’ll also learn simple\, practical steps you can take at home and in your community to help bring back the night. The evening will close with a friendly Q&A session. \nCome curious\, leave inspired—and see how protecting the night sky protects life on Earth.

SUMMARY:For the Love of the Night Sky
DESCRIPTION:Is it too late to save the stars? Every year\, our skies grow dimmer—washed out by artificial light. Will we be the generation that lets the night sky disappear… or the one that saves it? \nDarkSky International Olympic Peninsula\, in cooperation with the Dungeness River Nature Center\, is pleased to bring a special program featuring a team of dedicated night sky rangers. It will be a two-hour journey into one of the most urgent yet overlooked environmental issues of our time: light pollution. We’ll spotlight four local groups working to protect and preserve the night sky. Learn why their efforts matter and how each of us can play a role in reducing light pollution. Discover their challenges\, triumphs\, and the innovative ways they’re reconnecting communities with the stars above. \nSpecial guest speaker Wayne Gosnell\, co-founder of Blanco County Friends of the Night Sky\, will share how one Texas community sparked a movement and how we can do the same. \nRSVP is required to attend. You can do that on DRNC’s website.
