Lights Out Philly Residential Pledge
Bird Safe Philly has launched the Lights Out Philly Program to make Philadelphia and surrounding areas safer for migratory and resident birds.
Residents are asked to minimize unnecessary lights and make some lighting changes during the peak spring and fall migration periods of April 1 - May 31 and August 15 - November 15 and between the hours of midnight and 6:00 AM. Specific actions include the following:
Turn off spot lights and/or decorative lighting
Turn off interior lights when leaving a room
Draw blinds/shades if indoor lighting required after midnight
Use down-shielded lighting outdoors
Where possible, put outdoor lighting on timers and/or motion sensors
Please note: Physical addresses are requested so that we can map locations that have signed up to participate. We will not publish participants addresses nor will we share your address with anyone outside of Bird Safe Philly.
