Formerly Lights Out Raleigh
Wake Audubon is excited to announce we have renamed Lights Out Raleigh to Lights Out Wake. Scroll to the bottom of this page to take our Lights Out Pledge.
Raleigh is the flagship Lights Out program in North Carolina as the first city to establish a lights out policy for all municipal buildings. With renewed interest in Raleigh and recent publicity, the lights out message has spread to nearby municipalities. Wake Audubon members are working with city staffs and we are hopeful that other programs will officially be announced. The name change to Lights Out Wake reflects this growing support in other municipalities.
Lights Out Wake’s goal is to educate our members and communities on simple steps everyone can take to create safe passage for migrating birds.
