Advocates Corner

What is the importance of a naturally dark night sky? How does the night and day work in a reciprocal manner and why is this an important topic for any conservation effort?

We have contacted the Delaware River Port Authority about new LED lighting on the Ben Franklin Bridge with concerns of the ecological harm to the aquatic environment and for bird migration.

What are the impacts of light pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution from warehouses and trucking terminals on the environment and surrounding communities? This is a work in progress so look for updates as we learn more!

One of many partners, DarkSkyPA is part of the Bird Collision Alliance to reduce bird attraction to light pollution and reduce fatal bird collisions with buildings, especially during migration seasons.

We are advocating for and assisting with the effort to develop another Dark Sky Park in Pennsylvania to provide another starry place for our citizens and our visitors to enjoy Pennsylvania's beautiful night sky!
