Do you know of a stellar property in Texas that has Nature, Neighbor & Night-Skies Friendly Lighting?

The Be A Star Award rewards landowners who contribute to conservation efforts by protecting the night sky. To earn it they use outdoor lighting that eliminates glare, light trespass, and other forms of light pollution while at the same time helping them see better on their property.

Strut your Texas stuff with the Be A Star Award!
