    One of Nevada‘s biggest assets (and differentiators) is the spread of visible stars overhead outside of the cities. Nevada deserves this proclamation. Thank you!

    I enthusiastically support Washoe County’s proclamation declaring the week of
    April 21 - 28 as:
    International Dark Sky Week.
    I urge all the commissioners to do the same. As a frequent traveler and camper in the rural dark sky areas of our beautiful state, I appreciate how special a truly dark sky is. The unique dark sky areas of Northern Washoe County deserve our appreciation, commemoration, and protection.

    Observing the beauty of the dark night sky on the playa and around Gerlach is something that I cherish and we need to expand protection for.

    I strongly support adoption of the International Dark Sy Week proclamation. The starry skies of NV are a unique and valuable natural resource and recreational attraction for rural Washoe County.

    I strongly support this! I love the dark skies in the Gerlach area and think there should be awareness/education to keep it starry!
