Event Details

We are experiencing an exponential increase in light pollution in Connecticut with impacts on our birds, insects, bats, amphibians, bats, pollinators, plants, and our own health. Artificial light emitted by our homes, buildings, streetlights, bridges, and other structures can confuse and disorient wild animals, especially during fall migration season. Light pollution also negatively impacts human health, both physically and mentally, as well as our carbon footprint.

Please come to this timely presentation to learn about what can be done to combat the problem and help repair the damage. Registration is required; please sign up below.
