Subject: For bird advocates Dark Skies initiative in Ashland

As you all know, light pollution is a huge problem for migrating birds and I would consider it a big win if Ashland city embraces the Dark Skies initiatives

The climate energy policy advisory committee (CEPAC) in Ashland is about to look at Dark Skies initiatives. If anyone shares my hope for darker skies please email bsoh...@icloud.com and let him know you would like to present on June 11 3-5pm at the city community development center to CEPAC. If you can't come to the meeting, emailing the committee and city to voice your support is also a helpful step.

Thanks for joining me in advocating for our beloved birds. It takes a village!

Cat
