Darken the Sky - Lights Out for the Nocturnal World (GR 4-9)

Weaselhead/Glenmore Park Preservation Society

This workshop is an exploration of the ecological importance of the nighttime world for wild animals and plants and the importance of dark skies for healthy nocturnal environments. Discover the night life in Calgary parks with photos taken through a citizen science project called Calgary Captured, and how we can coexist with our wildlife neighbours. Learn about different kinds of light, the biological impacts of light pollution and how your action can help all living things. Students will walk away with an understanding of the importance of dark skies.
