Subject: For bird advocates Dark Skies initiative in Ashland
As you all know, light pollution is a huge problem for migrating birds and
I would consider it a big win if Ashland city embraces the Dark Skies
initiatives
The climate energy policy advisory committee (CEPAC) in Ashland is about to
look at Dark Skies initiatives. If anyone shares my hope for darker skies
please email <bsohlmfm...> and let him know you would like to present
on June 11 3-5pm at the city community development center to CEPAC. If you
can't come to the meeting, emailing the committee and city to voice your
support is also a helpful step.
Thanks for joining me in advocating for our beloved birds. It takes a
village!
Cat
