Defending the Dark tells the story of protecting the largest dark sky area on the east coast. This area of northern Maine is used as an inspiration for what we can all do in our towns and cities to protect the night sky. Dark sky conservation benefits wildlife and their habitats, reduces health and safety risks to humans, saves energy, and reduces costs. Light pollution has devastating effects on migrating birds, native plants, and pollinators. Defending the Dark will leave you optimistic about the future and empowered to take action.
