SUMMARY:25th Annual Springsong Weekend– A Celebration of Birds and Birding

SUMMARY:Dark Sky Nights - Point Pelee National Park
DESCRIPTION:Explore the park after dark and experience the dark skies of Point Pelee National Park. You will have the opportunity to stay late and experience the park at night. Visitors can pick up a seasonal star chart at the front gate upon arrival. The park is open until midnight\, unless otherwise stated. \nDark Sky Viewing Tips: \n-Check the weather before heading out.\n-Take along a star chart or download a star gazing app\, and bring a pair of binoculars – or a telescope.\n-Use red cellophane over your flashlight. Red light is less obtrusive than traditional white light\, and helps to retain your night vision.\n-West Beach and the Visitor Centre parking lots are the best car-accessible stargazing locations.
