NM DarkSky and Lights Out For Birds

Jim Price   

Thursday September 19, 2024, 7 – 8:30 pm

Responsible lighting can improve safety, save energy and money, be healthier, have less adverse effect on birds and other wildlife, respect property rights, and enable greater human appreciation and scientific study of the night sky.  Through programs like DarkSky and Lights Out for Birds, we can help birds at critical times of migration when excess nighttime lighting causes confusion, route interruption, and mortality. Jim Price is the local chapter representative of NM DarkSky and a member of the DarkSky State Council.
