Take the Pledge

Pledge to preserve and protect the night sky above your observing site, home, business, school or town. Take a stand against the encroachment of the light. It's something you can do to reduce light pollution -- one place and one star at a time.

Taking the pledge is simple and fast.  Just tell us who you are, where you are, and how to contact you. We'll give you a checklist of simple things you can do to reduce light pollution on any property you manage, and you just check off what you have already done or will do.

That's it!

Creating a StarPark is easy!  Any space is eligible to be a StarPark as long as it is available for public use at least once a year.  All we need from you is some basic information about the site and a commitment that you will do what is within your power to protect the night sky above your spot.

What is a StarPark?
