Conservation Commission explores Dark Sky event, climate resilience speakers and Earth Month coordination
Summary
The commission discussed a library-requested Dark Sky program and the possibility of a fund to help residents retrofit lighting, sought speakers for a climate and flood resilience event in February, and asked for volunteers to lead Earth Month activities and a 2026 calendar project.
Members discussed outreach opportunities including a request from the library for a Dark Sky event and a new Vermont chapter related to dark-sky issues. The commission said it would be useful to audit lights around Town Hall and considered establishing a small fund to help residents change lighting to be more dark-sky friendly.
They are also seeking speakers for a climate and flood resilience program tentatively planned for February and asked for a volunteer to shepherd Earth Month events; the group discussed producing a 2026 calendar using Pete Demick’s photos and possibly hosting an event where residents choose images.
