Gateway Arch Goes Dark for Birds | St. Louis News

This September, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis goes dark for a noble reason: to help migratory birds navigate safely. The National Park Service has been turning off the exterior lights since 2002, reducing light pollution that disrupts bird migration. With 40% of the nation’s waterfowl passing through this corridor each spring and fall, the dimming makes a big difference. Lights return October 1st—so enjoy the night sky, it’s for the birds.
