Wise County dark sky defenders are leading the latest effort to conserve Virginia's rural night skies. The Roanoke Times recently ran this editorial: A Dark Sky Park for the Coalfields.
DarkSky Virginia advocates for responsible, community-friendly outdoor lighting and the protection and restoration of Virginia’s night skies and nightscapes.
As the Virginia Chapter of DarkSky International we align with DarkSky’s mission: to restore the nighttime environment and protect communities from the harmful effects of light pollution through outreach, advocacy, and conservation.
Laura Greenleaf has co-led or led DarkSky Virginia since 2012. You can contact her at: virginia@darksky.org
