Dark Sky North Georgia

The Rabun/Habersham Chapter of Dark Sky North Georgia, a member of the International Dark Sky Association, meets every third Monday. The mission of the organization is to stem the tide and reverse the effects of light pollution in North Georgia. The light flare from municipalities and residential areas blocks our view of the night sky, and negatively impacts numerous birds and animals, including the world’s human population. Nature intended for all creatures to experience periods of darkness.

The Rabun/Habersham Chapter of Dark Sky North Georgia seeks everyone's input in finding win/win solutions, and to encourage public officials to adopt measures that alleviate the problems, save energy, and preserve the beauty of the mountains, and the world. Luckily, light pollution is the easiest kind of pollution to solve!
