Dark Sky Barbara Sawhill

As you open your camps and prepare for warmer weather, please consider the placement of your outdoor lights and whether they are shining down vs out. Many migratory birds use the night sky to travel during the spring and light pollution can cause confusion and even injury to our wildlife. Light pollution disrupts wildlife, affects human health, wastes energy, and blocks our view of the universe. This summer everyone and every creature that calls Little Sebago Lake home can benefit if we each do our part. For more information and tips please check out the Dark Sky Project at http://darksky.org
