Love your Birds – Where Science and Conservation meet Art

Engage in a lively science-based program with Elizabeth Filippelli of the Duval Audubon Society. She is currently serving as Co-Lead of the Northeast Florida Lights Out Program. Elizabeth will present a program on what you can do to save our migrating birds and our local bird population.
Learn about the perils of artificial light pollution and how reflective glass is impacting our migrating birds. It’s a little bit of science, conservation and art.
Learn what you can do to support Light’s Out and take action at your own home. Elizabeth's work with Lights Out North Florida (LONF) focuses on building partnerships with City of Jacksonville leaders, Jacksonville Jaguars and major businesses in Downtown Jacksonville to spread awareness of the perils to birds of artificial light pollution and reflective glass and how to fix it.
Recent successes include the very first Lights Out North Florida Proclamation encouraging homeowner and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights at night and Jacksonville Jaguars joining the program by turning off Daily’s Place lights at night from 11 pm – 6 am – everyday.
