What to expect:

Taking action for wildlife can take many forms. From picking up litter to planting native prairie plants, we’ll do it all! 

What to wear:

Making a difference can be messy, so keep the mud in mind! We recommend wearing long sleeves, pants, and closed-toed shoes.

Lights Out, Dallas!

Texas is essential for migratory birds, with millions soaring across our Lone Star skies every spring and fall. Most birds migrate at night, and brightly lit buildings can confuse and disorient them on their journey, resulting in deadly collisions. In the United States, as many as 1 billion birds die from collisions with buildings every year! Because of light pollution, the DFW metroplex is the third most dangerous area in the United States for migratory birds to travel through.

Throughout fall and spring migrations, collision surveys are conducted in downtown Dallas to assess lights-out efforts. Volunteers play a crucial role – you help save stunned or injured birds, gather valuable data for research, and promote a darker night sky in our community.
