Activity 3

The santa fe conservation trust, with partners capital city astronomy club, santa fe southern railway and commonweal conservancy, has had many successful dark skies outreach events educating the community about the importance of the connection between land and sky conservation and the simple steps they can take to reduce light pollution. Recent studies have shown that light pollution has significant negative impacts on human health, confuses and harms wildlife, wastes energy, creates glare, and actually reduces nighttime visibility. Over six hundred people in the community have participated in our educational star parties, celebrating land conservation in the new mexico and the importance of dark skies for future generations.
