Who We Are
The seeds of our group were planted in September of 2021. A community discussion of The End of Night inspired Douglas UCC to update its lighting and educate local communities about the effects of artificial light at night. During Dark Sky Week in April 2026, a single church’s project became a community movement – this group.
