Self-Assessment

Never doubt that a committed group of people can make a difference. Because, in fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.

Thank you for joining the movement to protect Pagosa’s dark skies! Your actions do make a difference.


You may find it helpful to have a paper assessment form to use while you are outside looking at each outdoor light, so we created this Outdoor Lighting Assessment PDF for you to print at home.

The Five Principles for Responsible Outdoor Lighting as defined by DarkSky International are your guide. They are in order of most impactful, but certainly can be used in combination with one another. We hope you find this assessment exercise informative and helpful. Thank you for doing your part and we value your input!
