Lights Out Texas: Fall Migration Season - Texas (Aug. 15-Nov. 30)

Aug 15 2024 - 11:00pm to Nov 30 2024 - 6:00am
Statewide TX

Lights Out Texas organizers ask that residents, building managers and businesses turn off their outdoor lights from 11 p.m. till 6 a.m. from Aug. 15 to Nov. 30 to prevent bird deaths. Outdoor lighting distracts and confuses migrating birds who typically fly at night.

Peak fall migration season is Sept. 5 to Oct. 29.

We'll be getting the trail ready for the onslaught of fall foliage hikers. We've finalized the beautification agreement with Dallas Parks & Recreation, so we're cleared to cut. So bring loppers and we'll widen the Lacywood and Scyene Overlook Trail, and begin the privet clearing process around trees we've identified as exceptional. We'll also test out the temporary wayfinding signs and make sure they make sense to everyone. Bring trash sacks for litter picking. 

Will be more of the same, with the added bonus of enjoying fall foliage as we do.
