Can you take part in this year's Star Count, a cosmic census to map light pollution? Just choose a clear night from 6-14 February and count how many stars you can see with the naked eye within Orion. You can register your interest here: https://takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/73245/-/1

Great event this morning. Our pre-covid litter picks showed just how much litter is out there and the pandemic has only worsened the situation. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9060347/Three-quarters-Brits-seen-rise-PPE-litter-poll-reveals.html

Thanks @carolinedibden for the link to this brilliant app. It clearly shows areas with high levels of car parking. If this were subterranean or multistorey miles of brownfield land could be converted to housing, saving the countryside & fulfilling a need. http://imactivate.com/parkulator/

Very glad of this (rare) prosecution, but what this really shines a light on is the bitty, unseen process by which we are still losing our precious wildlife: little by little by little. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/11/housebuilder-fined-600000-destroying-bat-roost-south-london-bellway

Cannock Chase has the worst light pollution of all 34 AONBs, but is relatively dark compared to the surrounding area. We aim to get lots of people taking part in the next Star Count to showcase the value of dark starry skies, and look at what we can do to reduce light pollution.
