Night Magic: Marvels of the Dark with Bestselling Author Leigh Ann Henion
Artificial light is disrupting the natural cycles of nearly every living creature on Earth, yet it hasn’t received as much attention as other forms of pollution.
In this webinar, New York Times bestselling author Leigh Ann Henion shares how spending time with synchronous fireflies led her on a personal quest to explore the importance of natural darkness in an age of increasing artificial light. Drawing from her celebrated new book, Night Magic, she offers inspiring stories and empowering guidance on how embracing the night can lead to moments of wonder, reduced light pollution, and improved ecological health.
