During the Night of Darkness, lights will be extinguished to highlight the negative effects of light pollution. Darkness is crucial for nocturnal animals, contributes to our health, and allows us to fully enjoy the starry sky.
Meerhout is participating in this initiative. The accent lighting of the St-Trudokerk will be turned off, along with the ambient lighting in the town hall. Interactive public lighting will also be switched off.
Residents are encouraged to join in. On October 10th, between 7 PM and 11 PM, people are asked to switch off their outdoor lighting. This way, everyone can experience the night as it is meant to be: dark, quiet, and wondrous, with the chance to admire a beautiful starry sky.
