Local Conservation Efforts Join Forces to Enhance Dark Sky Preservation in Parks

The Town of Liberty in Ontario, Wisconsin, has been recognized for its initiatives to combat light pollution, marking a significant step in a broader effort involving the Mississippi Valley Conservancy and the Kickapoo Valley Dark Skies Initiative. Their goal is to have Wildcat Mountain State Park designated as a Dark Sky Park, which would help preserve the park’s natural vibrancy and protect native species. Carol Abrahamzon, Executive Director of the Mississippi Valley Conservancy, emphasizes the importance of reducing unnecessary outdoor lighting and incorporating native plants into landscapes as part of this initiative. For those interested in supporting these efforts, the conservancy provides resources on their website, while the Kickapoo Valley Dark Skies Initiative shares additional information on their Facebook page.
