Looking for an easy way to start conversations about better outdoor lighting?

The DarkSky Home Outdoor Lighting Assessment helps homeowners identify simple changes that can reduce light pollution and save energy.

Share it with your neighbors, friends, and community members—and help make every light protect the night.

Today, we collaborated with the Saddle Brook Free Public Library to create a pollinator garden. We planted native plants such as the Milkweed and put mulch down. We look forward to seeing this pollinator garden grow over the next 1-2 years.

We would like to give a special thanks to the Saddle Brook DPW for excavating the land for the pollinator garden.

The Saddle Brook Green Team is very thankful to The Saddle Brook Chapter of UNICO National for their donation of 60 tulip bulbs!

We are currently planning where to plant these tulips before the winter. Stay tuned!

This past Thursday, members of Saddle Brook UNICO donated bags of tulip bulbs to the SB Green Team!

Peak migration season for birds is now. Birds tend to fly toward light, so outdoor lighting can confuse them and contribute to injuries and death. What can you do?

-- Turn your lights off, or use motion-detector fixtures that go on only when you need them

-- Buy fixtures that are shielded from the top so the light isn't directed upward

-- Switch to bulbs with warm white or yellow light rather than bright white

LIGHTS OUT! Tonight is set to be a significant bird migration night along the Eastern Seaboard. Favorable low level winds & rain-free conditions behind a cold front will support high migration traffic. Many of these flocks will fly at an altitude around 2,000 feet and in the ballpark of 20 mph (headed southward), give or take. If you live in the orange & red areas below, consider turning off unnecessary lights after dark tonight. These lights can distract and disorient.

NJ’s fall bird migration is an amazing spectacle that runs through November. The eastern flyway follows the Atlantic coast and the Appalachian mountain range, giving Garden State residents a front-row seat as hundreds of species head south for the winter.

The Saddle Brook Green Team partnered with St. Philip Church on their Astronomy Event. Lonny Buinnis gave an excellent lecture on the celestial objects visible in the August night sky. After that, Steve Mariconda of the Saddle Brook Green Team gave a quick lecture on Light Pollution and how we can reduce it to see more stars and in the night sky and protect wildlife and human health.

After the lectures, we had a star party in the parking lot where we observed various stars, despite the haze, via telescope and long exposure camera.

Thank you to St Philip Church, Father Bruce, and Lonny Buinnis for hosting this Astronomy event!

Special thanks to Thomas Van Winkle for taking photos and Tyler Pozzi for taking videos that will soon appear on the Saddle Brook TV station.

Let's celebrate National Moth Week by helping moths thrive!

Artificial light at night can disrupt moth behavior, making it harder for them to navigate, feed, and reproduce. One of the easiest ways to support these important pollinators is by following DarkSky's Five Principles for Responsible Outdoor Lighting:

💡 Use light only if needed
🎯 Target light where it's needed
🔅 Keep lighting at the lowest effective level
⏰ Use controls like timers and motion sensors
🌙 Choose warmer-colored light whenever possible

Small changes to the way we light our homes and communities can make a big difference for moths, wildlife, and the night sky.
