    Trees provide the air we breathe, keep nutrients in the soil and sediment out of our waterways.

    Our electricity is mostly hydro-powered. I recently attended a Dark Skies Foray in the Steens and  learned about the importance of Dark Skies to aid all bats, perhaps 80% of mammals and many migrating birds. Bright lights at night have Actually increased crime in study areas, contrary to what we think. Warm LED lighting is better than bright bluer LEDs. Hoping the Steens study area becomes a Dark Skies registered place.
