We are all well aware of the problems of pollution…in the water, our land and the air we breathe. But with expanding populations, there is another kind of pollution that is drastically affecting our wildlife and the natural world around us. Light pollution is making it increasingly harder to find natural dark spaces at night; dark spaces that our migratory birds, fireflies, endangered turtles and the setting of natural acadian sleep rhythms of both mammals and humans. Come meet with biologists Madelyn Kaplin and Nancy Pau of the Parker River Wildlife Refuge to understand these problems and learn what to do to help. We will also walk over to the Spencer Pierce Little Farm to view the night sky with telescopes on this night of a full moon!
