Dark Sky Land, Inc is a New Mexico based multidisciplinary organization dedicated to re-connecting people to the land, nature, imagination and the cosmos.
Our mission is to increase public awareness of the night sky through the direct experience of natural darkness and wilderness restoration.
The vision is to establish the Dark Sky Land Astro-wilderness corridor as a protected Dark Sky Refuge on Earth for future generations. Engage and inspire local communities to rapidly preserve a 600-mile region from light pollution’s existential threat to wildlife ecosystems, human health, astronomy, biodiversity, pollinators, local astro-economy and bird migration.
Develop a multidisciplinary Laboratory for artistic, scientific, natural darkness restoration, observation, renewal, research, conservation, experimentation and innovation in the context of wild remote simplicity.
The proximity to the center of an ancient astro-archeological world, Chaco Canyon, Zuni Pueblo, Acoma Pueblo, Navajo People, El Mal Pais Natural Monument, and other Cultures is an inspiration to engage in multidimensional commitments and learning experiences for years to come.
