Vancouver Audubon: Dark Skies at Night, Migrants Delight

From April 01, 2025 6:30 pm until April 01, 2025 8:15 pm
Categories: Community Events

Most of us live in cities that are ablaze with light at night, from billboards to parking lots to streetlights. The over-abundance of light at night has ecological consequences, not just for the millions of migrating birds that use the stars to navigate, but also for mammals (including humans!), amphibians, fish and plants. Join us Tuesday, April 1 at 6:30pm to learn about the impacts of light pollution and how you can help in the effort to preserve starry skies while simultaneously maintaining safe and vibrant nighttime cityscapes.

Mary Coolidge, this month’s presenter, has been on Bird Alliance of Oregon's Conservation team since 2008 and serves as the BirdSafe Campaign Coordinator, working to reduce hazards for birds in the built environment. Mary is dedicated to improving efforts to make urban environments more hospitable to wildlife and helping connect people to nature and place right here in the city. Mary splits her time between BAO and the Oregon Zoo’s California Condor breeding program.
