Dim the Lights: Protecting Birds, Wildlife, and Ourselves

Light pollution disrupts ecosystems, disorients migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway, harms nocturnal wildlife, and impacts human health, while also contributing to climate change through energy waste. This workshop highlights the ecological and health effects of artificial lighting, including modern LEDs, and offers practical strategies—such as Connecticut’s Model Regulations for Outdoor Lighting—to reduce light pollution in homes, businesses, and municipalities.
