Be A Good Neighbor

Talking to your neighbor about light trespass can be a delicate conversation. You can start by expressing your appreciation for them as a neighbor and mention how much you value the community. Then, share how their outdoor lighting is affecting your property, emphasizing any specific issues such as difficulty sleeping or reduced visibility of the night sky.
