New Dark Skies Initiative

The loss of the night sky from artificial light has profound implications for migrating birds, insects and many other species dependent upon dark skies.

Sacajawea Audubon Society is excited to announce that our conservation committee has initiated a new effort to preserve the night sky in Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley.

If you are concerned about light pollution and its impacts, please join our Dark Skies Team! Contact Bonnie Rice here or Michael Smith here
