This grant, offered by the Department of Interior, is for the purpose of developing and testing innovative outdoor lighting techniques specifically designed for highly sensitive park environments. The project aims to identify and implement lighting solutions that minimize light pollution while maintaining necessary illumination. The International Dark Sky Association will lead this cooperative agreement, conducting rigorous testing in selected park settings to evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques. Following the testing phase, comprehensive reports on the findings will be compiled. The ultimate goal is to widely disseminate these findings to the general public, promoting the adoption of night sky friendly lighting practices to preserve natural darkness and protect nocturnal ecosystems within national parks and beyond.
