Wallowa County Region
A dark sky advocacy group in Wallowa County is beginning to come together. Their first meeting will be at the Wallowology Natural History Discovery Center in downtown Joseph (508 N Main St Slot 666, Joseph, OR 97846), Sunday, February 22, 3 - 5 pm. Tea and snacks will be provided.
Wallowa County has had a Sky Quality Meter at Wallowa Lake State Park for several years. We just added one at Grace Prairie, a very dark site north of Enterprise. One will be added soon at Enterprise High School.
Please RSVP for the meeting. Contact Joe Minato at joe.minato@darkskyoregon.org to RSVP, for more information, or with questions.
