SUMMARY:PMG Speakers Bureau: Saving Dark Skies
DESCRIPTION:Light pollution is making nights almost 10 percent brighter every year. The disappearing darkness not only limits our view of the stars but also has serious implications for the health of all living things. Biological processes have evolved with our planet’s rhythm of night and day. Lighting up the night disrupts this predictable cycle. In addition\, excessive outdoor lighting is disorienting and often fatal for migrating birds\, nocturnal flying insects\, and baby sea turtles. \nThe good news is that light pollution is fixable. Join Master Gardener Christine Hirsh-Putnam and Monticello Curator of Plants Peggy Cornett to learn more about the impact of light pollution and the many ways we can mitigate it. \nThis in-person program is hosted by the Piedmont Master Gardeners and The Center at Belvedere and is free and open to all. Register here to attend.
