The CPRE National Star count is back from Saturday 26th February – Sunday 6th March.
Starry skies are one of the most magical sights the countryside can offer. Light pollution not only limits our views of these skies, but also disrupts wildlife’s natural patterns.
CPRE research shows that light pollution is leaving fewer stars than ever visible to the naked eye, and they need your help to track how light levels are changing.
Choose a clear night between 26 February – 6 March 2022 and look to the skies to see how many stars you can spot within Orion. Please sign up here https://takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/95329/data/1?locale=en-GB
