Better Nights in Hays County Every Night
The right kind of lighting makes a dramatic difference for all. It’s a simple yet powerful way to enrich and protect our lives and the environment. Sometimes we require artificial light, but it needs to do no harm. Sometimes better lighting is all natural – provided only by the stars and moon. It’s all about balance and harmony. When it is done right, the effects of better lights really do provide us with better nights. That’s why it’s more important than ever to protect our dark sky in Hays County.
