Dark Skies

Join Erin and discover the importance of dark nights to better understand how light pollution affects all living things on Earth. ‘The natural night’ is just as important as the day. It’s important to humans, wildlife and the environment. We are starting to lose the night due to light pollution. This presentation explains why the ‘the night sky’ is important (sense of awe, human health, wildlife and cultural heritage) and concludes with practical, safe and sustainable ways to protect and promote the importance of ‘the night’ through parks, programs and valued areas. Erin has eighteen years of experience as a park naturalist with ODNR. This presentation is a cross reference of organizations including; the National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife, NASA, Department of Natural Resources, National Geographic and Dark Sky International.
