Lights Out Connecticut Lecture The Effects of Light Pollution on Birds, Wildlife, and Humans Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.

  • Connecticut Audubon Socity 218 Day Rd Pomfret Center United States (map)

Our state is located along the Atlantic Flyway, so many birds use our shoreline and green spaces to rest and refuel during their trip north. Artificial light emitted by houses, buildings, streetlights,  bridges, and other structure can confuse and disorient birds, causing them to land near buildings, crash into windows, or circle around for hours until they drop from exhaustion. Light pollution also impacts other wildlife and the well-being of humans. Learn what can be done to mitigate the damage. Lecture by Craig Repasz, chair and co-founder of Lights Out Connecticut and an accomplished birder. Registration requested but not required. Free. Join us at the Center or attend via Zoom. A link will be provided soon.
