Seeing stars? Discover how Blossom Rock supports the DarkSky movement.
You've probably noticed there are fewer lights lining Blossom Rock’s neighborhood streets than nearby areas, and there's good reason for that. Blossom Rock’s limited lighting plan is all by design to support the DarkSky International movement. In fact, DarkSky communities like Blossom Rock are all over the world.
There's no doubt when the sun goes down artificial light keeps us working and playing outdoors. But when overused, outdoor lighting can disrupt human health and wildlife patterns, wastes energy, contribute to climate change, and dims our connection to the stars above.
