A Dark Sky Preserve is a designated area that aims to protect the night sky from light pollution, allowing for better visibility of stars and celestial events. These preserves are often located in remote or rural areas, where artificial light is minimized, making them ideal for stargazing and astronomical research. Visitors to a Dark Sky Preserve can enjoy various activities, such as night sky observation, photography, and educational programs about astronomy. Many preserves also promote conservation efforts to maintain the natural environment and encourage responsible outdoor lighting practices in nearby communities.
