The Top of the South Dark Skies Commitee was established to pursue recognition of an area near Wai-iti as a designated Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association.

​We advocate for efforts to reduce light pollution, and educate people so they know what they can personally do to reduce light pollution and the impact of artificial light and night on themselves and their families.

We want to see the night skies of our whole region protected as a taonga for the enjoyment of everyone and future generations.
