International Dark Sky Week ends tomorrow and we are celebrating by looking back at our park preservation projects in #DarkSkyParks.

In 2001, we supported the acquisition of an 80-acre property within JoshuaTreeNPS, protecting an undeveloped section of the Mojave Desert. Today, visitors have more access to public land and a permanent scenic view of the desert, perfect for #stargazing!
