Description: |
All About Light Pollution at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge in Quogue, Long Island, New York.
Come to the Nature Center for a brief presentation on the very important topic of light pollution, which affects more than one may imagine. Join presenter Gail Clyma, member of the International Dark-Sky Association and chair of Southampton Town Dark Skies Advisory Committee, for a PowerPoint presentation, as well as for information on what Southampton Town is doing about the issue and how we can all make helpful and simple changes. Light pollution is more than just the brightening of the night sky so that fewer and fewer stars are visible from earth. It also encompasses dangerous glare, waste of energy and money and damage to the environment and human health. Warm beverages will be provided.
About Quogue Wildlife Refuge Nature Center
The Quogue Wildlife Refuge is a 305-acre expanse of protected land, with over seven miles of trails where you can explore a variety of habitats including Pine Barrens, bogs, wetlands, a field, and a tidal estuary. Our main trail is wheelchair and stroller friendly and all of the trails can be enjoyed in every season. The Refuge is a great place to cross-country ski and snowshoe. There is also a Distressed Wildlife Complex which houses animals that have been injured and would not be able to survive in the wild.
Our obligation is to serve as a responsible land steward of the Refuge property and its natural resources, while promoting, implementing and supporting environmental education. |
