Sisters, Oregon, has been officially designated as an International Dark Sky Community by DarkSky International, becoming the state’s second community to receive this recognition and the seventh International Dark Sky Place in Oregon. This prestigious status is a result of years of community initiatives aimed at combating light pollution and preserving the beauty of the night sky for future generations. The certification not only enhances tourism, which is vital to the local economy, but also supports wildlife that thrives in darkness. Significant contributions from local advocates, including the Sisters Astronomy Club, have played a crucial role in raising awareness about light pollution and implementing responsible outdoor lighting practices. As Sisters moves forward, it plans to focus on educational programs and continued engagement to maintain its commitment to dark sky preservation, ensuring residents and visitors can continue to enjoy the stunning night sky above the Cascade Mountains.
