The Roosevelt Park Zoo is teaming up with the National Audubon Society to support the “Lights Out for Birds” initiative. By reducing light pollution, we can help migrating birds safely navigate their routes and avoid being drawn into dangerous areas. When: March 1 – June 15 & August 15 - November 30 How You Can Help: • Turn off non-essential lights between 11 PM and 6 AM during migration season. • Close blinds at night to reduce light spillage. • Use warm outdoor lighting (below 3000 Kelvin) to minimize disruption. • Opt for task lighting instead of overhead lighting where possible. • Choose blinking lights instead of continuously burning ones. • Install motion sensors and automatic controls to manage lighting effectively.
