Dark Sky Land, Inc is a New Mexico based interdisciplinary organization dedicated to re-connecting people to the land, nature and the cosmos.
Our mission is to increase public awareness of the night sky through the direct experience of natural darkness restoration.
The vision is to establish the Dark Sky Land Astro-wilderness corridor as a future protected Dark Sky Refuge for future generations. To rapidly preserve a 600-mile region from light pollution’s existential threat to wildlife ecosystems, human health, astronomy, biodiversity, pollinators and bird migration.
Develop a multidisciplinary Laboratory for artistic, scientific, natural darkness restoration, observation, renewal, research, experimentation and innovation in the context of remote simplicity.
The proximity to the center of an ancient astro-archeological world, Chaco Canyon, The Zuni, The Navajo People, El Mal Pais Natural Monument, and other Native Cultures is an inspiration to engage in multidimensional commitments and learning experiences for years to come.
We Partnership with The Continental Divide Trail Coalition on our new annual ‘Star Gathering Event’ in Pie Town, NM (2025-2026).
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
We collaborate with the XERXES Society for Invertebrates Conservation, to protect our precious pollinators.

We have representation on the Dark Sky International, New Mexico Chapter Council.
