Sumpter Wildlife Area, Baker County
The Sumpter Valley dredge tailings located in the heart of Baker County has all the qualities expected for Dark Sky places. There is very little light, 1100 acres of wide-open space and a rich history known as the Sumpter Wildlife Area. The Baker County Parks Board voted unanimously on January 26 to work toward certification of that area as a Dark Sky Park.

Applegate After Dark
Applegate After Dark (AAD) continues to grow community support for dark sky advocacy and action in southwest Oregon. Under the umbrella of the Applegate Partnership and Watershed Council, AAD recently received an innovation grant from "A Greater Applegate" to develop "rack cards" and to purchase dark sky compliant outdoor lightbulbs to distribute when we participate in local events. AAD is planning a binocular star party at a local winery later this spring. Visit our webpage for forthcoming details. https://www.applegatepartnership.org/applegateafterdark
