Hi Christine, thank you for the heads up! That is very exciting to hear. The Caves just finished their Dark Sky park certification and I am very hopeful about this expanding to the rest of our community. I am in contact with Bill & Cathy at Dark Sky Oregon—they are both wonderful people.
Hello Nikko,
I'm inspired by your timely mission! I really enjoyed learning about your parents' choice of name for you.
Did you know that the IV Chamber of Commerce just received a major grant to investigate the possibility of a Dark Skies initiative for SW Oregon?
I'd recommend that you contact Megan Pugh at IVCC to ask how we, the local community, can support the study? a contact for IVCC
