The Roanoke Times published an editorial by Virginia chapter co-leader, Laura Greenleaf, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The Roanoke Times editorial board has consistently advocated for night sky conservation as a community asset and tourism opportunity for the region. Here is Why We Need Dark Sky Parks.
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
