Dark Skies Subcommittee
We are seeking Lincoln residents to join the Dark Skies Committee. The Planning Board established a Dark Skies subcommittee to study light pollution in the Town of Lincoln and to recommend updates and protocols for Lincoln to reduce and control light pollution.
Recent research on the adverse effects of artificial light at night and new technological advances in lighting provide us with the opportunity to take steps to protect our dark sky. The expected time commitment in the order of 1-3 hours weekly includes varied tasks, research, analysis, and regular meeting attendance/engagement. The committee’s goals include establishing a mission statement, and updating bylaws, as well as developing and implementing an educational campaign.
If you want to participate, please reach out by September 30th to Louise Bergeron, louisebergeron@earthlink.net, and Craig Nicholson NicholsonC@lincolntown.org with a brief statement about your interest.
