SUMMARY:Marble Falls - Night Sky Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The stars above are one of our region’s most treasured natural resources\, yet increasing population growth and development across the Texas Hill Country are contributing to light pollution that dims our view of them. In Burnet County\, preserving—and in some areas\, restoring—the night sky is vital\, not only for the health of all living things but also for sustaining our local economy\, tourism\, safety\, and cultural heritage. With growing community interest in night sky preservation\, we invite you to join one of our upcoming information sessions to learn more about the issue\, explore the formation of a Friends of the Night Sky group\, and take part in an open discussion and Q&A. \nClick the link below to register.
