Preserving dark skies for us and migrating birds and other wildlife.With our local economy generating a huge
income from Big Skies and wildlife it's time for Bozeman to put protections in place to secure dark skies for future
generations.Over 300 municipalities have a dark sky ordinance in place so when we look up at the stars and Milky
Way,we can actually see them . Let's give migrating birds and other wildlife a chance to navigate the skies without
the confusion of so much artificial light-their lives depend on it. I live in Gallatin Gateway and the white artificial
light of Bozeman looks like a Q tip from here. Population growth can be managed in little ways to preserve the
beauty of our mountain town,a dark skies provision is one of those. Please be proactive for the preservation of
what makes us stand out-we are Big Sky Country after all .Thank you
