Discover how light pollution affects all creatures human to micro-organisms.
Get Outdoors- Experience the Living Night- Maine Dark Skies
Living Night started as a Maine Girl Scout Gold Award project. Education connects us all to the profound impact of light pollution on all living beings. By raising awareness, together we can reconnect with nature and
see the natural rhythms of day and night, essential for healthy life: migration, pollination, reproduction, and sleep. Get outdoors and look! Allow your eyes to adjust and see the living night.
Stargazing, hearing birds and peepers, seeing fireflies and salamanders relaxes and brings joy. Change your home lights to
warm directed light
to protect all nature including us.
Being able to see the stars connects us to this important project,
