Stargazers Celebrate as Oregon Community Earns Dark Sky Recognition

Sisters, Oregon, has proudly been designated as the latest ‘Dark Sky Community’ by DarkSky International, recognizing the city’s commitment to reducing light pollution to preserve its stunning nighttime views. To achieve this status, Sisters implemented strict outdoor lighting regulations last year, focusing on aspects such as intensity, direction, and shielding of lights, while also requiring local businesses to turn off outdoor lighting after hours. Residents and community leaders, like science teacher Rima Givot and Community Development Director Scott Woodford, have expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, noting its benefits for stargazing and local wildlife. This designation is expected to attract astronomy enthusiasts, boosting tourism and the local economy, while fostering a greater appreciation for natural environments. With a compliance deadline set for early 2027, Sisters hopes to inspire other communities to adopt eco-friendly lighting practices, contributing to a broader movement towards environmental consciousness.
