Opting for Colored Lights May Reduce Wildlife Disruption

In Jackson, Wyoming, local regulations aim to mitigate the negative impacts of holiday lighting on wildlife, particularly birds and ecosystems. Teton County and the Town of Jackson have restrictions in place limiting outdoor decorative lighting from mid-November to early January and promoting the use of warmer-colored bulbs over cooler ones to reduce light pollution. Research indicates that excessive artificial light disrupts avian circadian rhythms, increases bird mortality, and alters predator-prey dynamics, as evidenced by studies highlighting its effects on species like mountain lions and mule deer. Recommendations suggest that using colored lights instead of bright whites can diminish these ecological disruptions. Adhering to such lighting practices supports the community’s commitment to environmental stewardship as outlined in local land development regulations.
