Bend Night Sky Alliance
The newly formed Bend Night Sky Alliance (BNSA) is actively working to protect Bend's night sky through multiple initiatives, collaborating with city officials and Pacific Power to identify and replace malfunctioning purple streetlights, addressing light trespass issues with community members, and advocating for updates to the city's outdated 2004 lighting ordinance.
BNSA, a local sub-group of DarkSky Oregon, is dedicated to educating the community about dark sky issues and empowering residents with practical steps they can take to help preserve our night sky.
In-person meetings are held monthly.
Email hello@darkskyoregon.org and mention an interest to connect with BNSA.
