Join Us Under the Stars at Mountain View Farm
September 6 @ 7:15 pm – 9:30 pm
The Orford Conservation Commission and the Upper Valley Land Trust are excited to host their annual night under the stars, led by Bobby Farlice-Rubio.
Mountain View Farm in the Quinttown region of Orford is the perfect place to take a tour of the night sky. Its remote location, 360 degree view, and lack of electric light pollution mean you can see the whole sky on a clear night.
The event opens at 7:15 pm for those who want to come early and find their perfect viewing spot. The tour of the night sky begins at 8pm. In the past, participants have brought a picnic dinner to enjoy the time spent waiting for the sun to set. Please bring your own blankets and chairs, and a flashlight or headlamp, which are necessary to find your way when leaving the event! We do ask that you keep all light sources off during the presentation. Please note that there is no electricity, potable water, or restroom on site.
This event is free and open to the public but donations are appreciated and may be made when you arrive or online anytime. Registration is required. See you there!
** This event, originally scheduled for Monday, August 5th, has been rescheduled due to inclement weather. The new date will be confirmed as we get closer to September, and can determine the best viewing conditions.**
