Atlanta is a voluntary program encouraging building
owners and residential homeowners to turn off or
reduce lighting from midnight to dawn during the
peak bird migration periods. Participants pledge to
reduce non-essential lighting during peak migration
periods of March 15 to May 31 (spring) and Aug. 15 to Nov. 15 (fall). The pledge is available on
the Atlanta Audubon website at AtlantaAudubon.org/lightsoutatlanta.
