Launching Logan’s Night Sky Monitoring Program
Student Activities
Artificial light at night doesn’t just hide the stars; it changes ecosystems. From migratory bird navigation to nocturnal mammal behavior, light pollution has measurable impacts on wildlife and human communities. Join the Wildlife Society and Berryman Institute for an informational meeting about launching a student-led Night Sky Monitoring Program in partnership with Audubon’s Gilmore Sanctuary. This volunteer-based program will collect standardized data on sky brightness and light pollution in the Logan area, contributing to conservation, research, and outreach efforts. We are currently in the early stages and need student interest before officially launching. This is a great opportunity to gain field experience, contribute to community science, and help build a new conservation initiative from the ground up.
