Lights Out! Connecticut In-Person
How can you help save the lives of migrating birds AND maybe even save on your electric bill? Lights Out!
Millions of birds pass through Connecticut every spring and fall on their way to and from their summer nesting grounds. Because our state is located along the Atlantic Flyway, many birds use our shorelines and green spaces to rest and refuel during their trip. Some also stay for the summer.
Join the growing community of CT residents, businesses, schools, churches, and nonprofits pledging to turn off their unnecessary outdoor and indoor lighting from each night during peak bird migration to reduce the risk of light pollution to migrating birds.
Nighttime hours are calmer and safer for migrating birds. Landing at daybreak is better for feeding. And many scientists believe that birds navigate by the light of the moon and stars.
Artificial light has wreaked havoc on our night sky. Learn what you can do to help save CT's migratory birds.
