Program Description
Event Details
Artificial light has creeped into our yards and forest, disrupting circadian rhythms of wildlife, plants, and us humans. Nocturnal animals, who have evolved to thrive in dark conditions no longer have the upper hand against their prey. Trees and other plants growing under the glow of streetlights are shown to be less resilient than those given a night's rest. Join The Great Swamp Watershed Association's Ginger Van Ryzin for this free talk and learn what exactly is light pollution, its effects on the flora and fauna, and what we can do to protect our ecosystems against it.
This program is sponsored by the Environmental Commissions of Chatham Township, Chatham Borough, and Madison.
