About Lights Out
Lights Out is a national effort led by the Audubon Society to help migrating birds. Advocates partner with building owners, managers, and residents to voluntarily turn off unnecessary lights during periods when artificial lighting is most likely to affect migrating or nocturnal birds: April and May in the spring, and September and October in the fall.
Our mission
Lights Out Louisville—a Louisville Audubon Society initiative—is working to reduce the risks of unnecessary artificial nighttime lighting for migratory and nocturnal birds. Our goal: prevent injury and death due to exhaustion, window collisions, and predation.
Our vision
We envision a time when migratory birds can safely travel, rest, refuel, and nest in our area during their twice-annual nighttime journeys.
