FELLOW JULIANITES — HELP KEEP OUR NIGHT SKY DARK!
The Julian Dark Sky Network is an organization whose mission is to preserve the dark skies of Julian, CA.
Our community is part of the 1% of the U.S. that can still see the Milky Way. Our distance from the urban glow of San Diego's skies and the surrounding mountains help with our sky quality, but preservation must be intentional.
We support the goals of the International Dark Sky Association, the recognized authority on light pollution. The organization promotes protection and preservation of the natural night sky for more reasons than will fit on the Home page, so we encourage you to learn more on their website.
The Julian Dark Sky Network, therefore, proposes that our community undertake important steps to preserve this important component of our region’s natural habitat.

What is a Dark Sky Community?
The IDA awards Dark Sky Community status to towns, cities, municipalities or other legally organized communities that take significant measures to preserve the night sky. They do this through adopting dark sky-friendly outdoor lighting, education and outreach. Such communities also have certain lighting ordinances that follow IDA guidelines.
