The excessive or inappropriate use of artificial light at night—also known as light pollution—negatively impacts a multitude of Earth’s species, including sea turtles, bats, birds, and us humans.Light pollution is a human-made issue, and it’s increasing in both intensity and scale as a result of the built environment.
But there’s good news: This problem is a solvable one, and we’re not powerless against it.
Join Mary Beth Nevulis—Louisville Audubon Society Vice President and Program Chair and Co-Founder of Lights Out Louisville, a local conservation program sponsored by Louisville Audubon—for a program presented at Beckham Bird Club's April 2026 meeting. You'll learn:
• The negative effects of light pollution on the natural world as well as on humans
• Why reducing artificial light at night, especially during spring and fall migration seasons, is critical for protecting migratory birds
• The small individual actions that can prevent needless bird deaths and injuries—and that collectively add up to big wins for birds and the natural world
• Easy ways to become an advocate for birds and participate in Lights Out Louisville
No cost to attend; no need to register. Members and non-members are welcome to attend Beckham Bird Club meetings.
