October Is Hill Country Night Sky Month | Texas Public Radio
October is Hill Country Night Sky Month, an opportunity to celebrate the region’s starry skies and take action to protect them. Outdoor lighting choices can make a meaningful difference. Hill Country Alliance encourages residents and businesses to use lighting that is directed downward and properly shielded, reconsider the brightness and color of outdoor lights, and turn off nonessential lighting when possible. These simple steps help reduce light pollution and protect the natural nighttime environment that makes the Hill Country special. Thank you to Texas Public Radio for highlighting the importance of protecting our dark skies.
