Go Lights Out Kick Off

Mark your calendars for the 8th annual Lights Out Kick Off on September 19, a community-wide event tied to peak fall migration season (Sept. 19 - Oct. 19) when millions of birds will be passing over Oregon skies! Residential households and commercial buildings will dim their lighting in order to raise awareness about the impact of light pollution on migrating birds.
