Lights Out, DFW!

Lights Out, DFW! is a flagship program of the statewide Lights Out, Texas! campaign, targeting non-essential lighting in the DFW metroplex. Darken the night skies to help migratory birds fly safely at night during peak migration seasons in spring and fall.

Lights Out Education Program

The Lights Out Education Program is designed to engage students through three tailored, TEKS-aligned modules for grades 3–5 and grades 6–8. The goal is to empower students to explore bird migration, light pollution, and urban ecology through inquiry-based lessons and real-world data.
