There is a strong chance of rain tonight, but don’t let that stop you from coming out to Huntsville Green Thinks: Dark Sky Advocacy with Kathryn Williamson at Yellowhammer to join us to advocate for Dark Skies 🌌

We will try to meet under the covered patio to protect us from rain.

Also, Kathryn is an artist and will have some incredible high-quality prints available for purchase during tonight’s event! You don’t want to miss it!

Join us tonight for Green Thinks!

Join us Wednesday August 26th for Huntsville Green Thinks: Dark Sky Advocacy with Kathryn Williamson and Starry Skies South at Yellowhammer Brewing.

Every month people who love the environment meet up at informal sessions formerly known as Green Drinks. This has been changed to Green Thinks to ensure everyone feels welcome, no drinking required. There’s always a slightly different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network. No need to register, just come as you are! We meet on the Clinton St patio of Yellowhammer Brewing, weather permitting.

This month we welcome Kathryn Williamson of Kathryn Williamson Consulting LLC and Starry Skies South to discuss the night sky, light pollution, and local advocacy in North Alabama.

The City of Huntsville, Alabama - Government Green Team Joy McKee Arboretum will soon be open to the public for all to enjoy! In the meantime, the Huntsville Environmental Coalition and Wild Ones North Alabama have been working hard to get the pollinator garden ready. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and milkweed donation from Monarch Watch, we have plenty of blooms for the people and pollinators to love 🐝

If you want to see more projects like this around our community, let the city know by sending them a message in support of native plants in our landscapes!
