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.
