- Dark Skies
  - - - from the Dark Skies bench
      - Tucked along the hedgeline of the Recreation Field, opposite the Pavilion, you’ll find me — far enough from the lights to see the stars. Each month brings something new — in the sky, in the air, and in the quiet sounds around me. I’m facing slightly to the east of south, by the way.

    - - Our work
      - Light pollution disrupts wildlife, impacts human health, wastes money and energy, contributes to climate change, and blocks our view of the universe.
        
        That’s five reasons that we work hard to keep our dark skies dark.
