✨ Step into the wonder of the night! ✨

Join us for a captivating online event exploring the beauty, mystery, and importance of natural darkness.

Artificial light is disrupting the natural cycles of nearly every living creature on Earth, yet it hasn’t received as much attention as other forms of pollution.

In this webinar, New York Times bestselling author Leigh Ann Henion shares how spending time with synchronous fireflies led her on a personal quest to explore the importance of natural darkness in an age of increasing artificial light. Drawing from her celebrated new book, Night Magic, she offers inspiring stories and empowering guidance on how embracing the night can lead to moments of wonder, reduced light pollution, and improved ecological health.

🌗 What you’ll take away:

• Learn which light bulbs and fixtures help wildlife and your plants thrive.

• Get tips for starting positive conversations with neighbors about light use.

• Discover the overlooked biodiversity of your own backyard after dark.

• Explore how moths, bats, owls, and other night creatures benefit ecosystems and human health.

• Consider planting a moon garden that glows under starlight, no matter the size of your yard.

• Expand your perspective of night and find new ways to enjoy your outdoor spaces.
