Led by CPRE Kent and funded by Marshall Wace, Dark Skies Medway seeks to safeguard the area’s dark skies for the future. It aims to work businesses, developers, planners and local communities to raise awareness of light pollution and seek to reduce its impacts where possible. As a project partner, will be supporting CPRE Kent to deliver the project across Medway, particularly around the impacts of light pollution on wildlife. Further information on the project and details of forthcoming events can be found here.

DarkSky International’s website here also provides a wealth of information and resources on the issues of light pollution.
