Sisters Leads the Way in Safeguarding Central Oregon’s Night Skies

In a move to combat increasing light pollution and protect the health of nocturnal wildlife and humans, the City of Sisters, Oregon, has earned recognition as a Dark Sky International community. At a recent event hosted by the High Desert Museum, local leaders celebrated the passing of an outdoor lighting ordinance that will enhance the region’s already stunning night skies. Factors contributing to Sisters’ dark sky status include its high elevation, low humidity, and small community size, which minimizes light pollution compared to larger cities. As Sisters implements a five-year plan to meet dark sky standards, it sets a precedent for other communities aiming to preserve the natural beauty of the cosmos. For additional details and stargazing events, residents can visit the city’s official website.
