Every spring and fall, millions of birds migrate over Louisville each night. But many birds don't survive the journey, and the effects of artificial light at night create some of the biggest threats to their survival. The good news: Anyone can contribute to the solution by taking some small—but meaningful—actions during peak bird migration months.
Come learn about Lights Out Louisville—a local conservation program sponsored by the Louisville Audubon Society—from program advocates Mary Beth Nevulis, vice president of the Louisville Audubon Society, and Dan Price, NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador, newspaper columnist, and Volunteer Naturalist at Bernheim Forest. They'll discuss:
—why reducing artificial light at night is so critical for birds, especially during fall and spring migration seasons
—how small actions taken at the individual level can reduce unnecessary bird deaths and injuries—and add up to a big collective impact
—a few simple tips that allow anyone to participate in the Lights Out Louisville initiative and make a positive difference in the world
fall-migration bird-watching tips & info on nearby birding hotspots
—Plus: audience Q&A and free take-home tip sheets, informational materials, and stickers!
