Dark skies talk by Jane Slade

The Lincoln Dark Skies Committee and the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust are co-sponsoring a lecture on Saturday, March 8 from 3-5pm at Bemis Hall on the importance of understanding the many ways in which light impacts our environment, human health, wildlife, and biodiversity. Jane Slade is a lighting educator and researcher and the host of the podcast “Starving for Darkness,” which advocates for sustainable lighting practices. The Town of Lincoln is preparing to update its bylaws and regulations, and this talk will explore considerations of light color, intensity, and direction, and will offer information on availability of proper lighting equipment and use of timers, dimmers and motion activation devices.
