Light Pollution and Its Impacts on Our Green Spaces

We are experiencing an exponential increase in light pollution in Connecticut with impacts on our birds, insects, bats, amphibians, bats, pollinators, plants, and our own health. Another staggering cost is the wasted energy and increase of our carbon footprint. Light Pollution will work against our efforts to create healthy habitat for wildlife and humans in our land trusts, parks, pollinator gardens, and open spaces. This two-hour Master Gardener class will focus on the impacts and mitigation of light pollution.
