Dark Skies Partnership - Prosiect Nos

[Gogleddgazer]

As some of you might know in 2015 Snowdonia National Park was awarded the designation of International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark Sky Institute. There is a project in place to maintain, monitor and promote the protection of this prestigious award and the wonderful viewing it affords across a significant geographic area. Last week I went along to a briefing by the coordinating officer (Dani Robertson) who is looking for volunteers to go out and do the monitoring activities that are needed to maintain the dark skies designation. She has a vast area to monitor and cannot achieve it alone. It might be something other SGL members might be interested in supporting. The Dark Sky reserve extends beyond the bounds of the National Park and includes the AONB for Clwydian Range and Dee Valley,  the Llyn Penninsula and Ynys Mon. More information can be found on the national park website  (www.eryri.llyw.cymru), Facebook (Prosiect Nos) or indeed directly from Dani (email dani.roberston@eryri.llyw.cymru)

Let's help protect our Ddark skies!

Cheers

John

Good heads up. I know Dani through my work (part of which is in dark skies) and she is doing a marvellous job.
