Sisters Takes Initiative to Safeguard Central Oregon's Night Sky

The City of Sisters, Oregon, is taking significant steps to protect Central Oregon’s dark skies, which are among the darkest in the continental United States. Increasing light pollution from neighboring developed areas poses risks to both wildlife and human health. At a recent event hosted by the High Desert Museum, officials shared insights about Sisters’ outdoor lighting ordinance and its status as a Dark Sky International community. Dark Skies board member Christopher Hill highlighted key factors contributing to the area’s visibility of celestial bodies, including elevation, low humidity, and small community size. As Sisters embarks on a five-year initiative to align outdoor lighting with Dark Sky standards, it sets an exemplary model for preserving the natural beauty of the night sky.
