Join CCFPD on Saturday, April 26, at Middle Fork River Forest Preserve for a special event celebrating International Dark Sky Week!

Enjoy a public observing session in collaboration with the Champaign-Urbana Astronomical Society, where members will share their telescopes with the public after discussing the importance of dark skies and minimizing light pollution.

Arrive at 7:30 PM if you want to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony unveiling CCFPD’s new Dark Sky Trails, featuring an observatory, hammock stands, and concrete spaces for telescopes.

If you have any questions, feel free to email Chelsea at cprahl@ccfpd.org.
