Dark Skies Paonia is a community initiative dedicated to reducing light pollution and preserving the night sky in Paonia, Colorado. Its mission connects responsible outdoor lighting with energy conservation, human health, environmental protection, and the well-being of wildlife. The group also promotes education, youth engagement, and astrotourism. Paonia is identified on the site as Colorado’s sixth International Dark Sky Community.
The organization shares practical resources for residents, including information about the town’s outdoor lighting ordinance, dark-sky-approved fixtures, and the five principles of responsible lighting. Visitors can find guidance on filing a streetlight petition or reporting neighborhood light trespass, along with stargazing etiquette and local event listings. Educational content includes sky-quality monitoring, Globe at Night, and information about dark-sky initiatives in Colorado and beyond.
Dark Skies Paonia also highlights opportunities to explore dark-sky destinations and support efforts such as Lights Out Colorado, which helps protect migrating birds. The site invites community members to attend events, join its mailing list, and contribute through membership or donations.
