Colorado’s night skies—once a source of wonder, identity, and connection—are rapidly fading. As population grows and unshielded lighting spreads, our nights are being transformed into artificial daylight—disrupting nocturnal wildlife and eroding a vital part of our cultural and natural heritage. Unlike other forms of pollution, light pollution is entirely reversible. Land managers across the state are uniquely positioned to lead this change, serving as models for their communities and helping restore the night sky for future generations. Join Colorado Parks and Wildlife Rangers to learn practical steps you can take to reduce light pollution and help protect—and even restore—our shared night skies.
