Once the invitation arrives, you should respond for your home in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by mail. Accurate counts impact federal funding levels and representation in the state and federal level.

International Dark Sky Community Survey
|
The City of Buda is interested in becoming an International Dark Sky Community. Dark Sky is a program that is administered and maintained by the International Dark Sky Association. They are a nonprofit organization that seeks to preserve the night sky by promoting responsible outdoor lighting.
They educate the public and policymakers about the importance of preserving the night sky. Dark Sky is more than seeing the stars, it’s fighting light pollution for the betterment of our environment, our health, and our energy consumption.
We would love to know how you feel about becoming an International Dark Skies Community. Please fill out the short survey in the link below. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
