Hays commissioners approve Lights Out proclamation

Staff Report

More than one billion birds die annually in the United States in collisions with buildings due to light pollution from non-shielded rural and urban lights in both residential and commercial spaces. 

In an effort to help prevent this, Hays County Commissioners unanimously approved a Lights Out Hays County proclamation during the commissioners court meeting on March 29, naming March through June 15 and Aug. 15 through November 2022 as “Lights Out Hays County.”
