Ready to learn more about light pollution and restoring dark skies in Texas?
Note for photo: Audience members are looking at the blue light emitted from a phone as we discuss how light pollution affects human health.
DarkSky Texas coordinates requests for guest speakers to present about various aspects of light pollution and dark skies to non-profits, businesses, clubs, conferences, and other groups in the state of Texas.
Sample presentation topics:
✅ Protecting Dark Skies for Humans and Wildlife
✅ Better Lights for Better Nights – For Humans, Gardens, and Wildlife
✅ Dark Skies are for the Birds (the impact of artificial lighting on birds)
✅ How to Implement the Five Principles for Responsible Outdoor Lighting
✅ The Importance of Dark Skies in Texas
✅ Conservation of the Night
We also can tailor our presentation for your group.
Most presentations use a laptop, projector, and screen. Our speakers can bring whatever they need or use your equipment. Most presentations are 45-60 minutes and are designed for adult audiences. Please specify any additional requirements needed for your event and approximate audience size.
Speaker fee:
Although there is no charge for speakers, donations are appreciated in the form of honorariums and are used to support DarkSky Texas projects, activities, and goals.
