Event Overview

Join The Nature Conservancy and Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition (FDSC) on Tuesday, June 16th, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for a special stargazing event. Led by Dr. Danielle Adams, executive director of FDSC, we will observe the gorgeous night sky through telescopes and learn about the importance of dark skies and their cultural significance, as well as the conservation value FDSC’s work provides in Flagstaff and beyond.

The talk is free and open to the public, but space is limited; registration is required. Sign up here or below before attending. Note: This event is limited to a designated area, and members of the public will not have access to the historic buildings in the preserve.

When navigating, follow the Google Maps directions to “Hart Prairie Preserve” (there is no street address) and look for the front gate with a TNC logo on it.
