January 2023
Dear John
Happy New Year from all of us at CPRE.
We're excited to let you know that you can now sign up to take part in our Star Count
[[link removed]] , which is taking place 17-24 February.
Each year, the results from Star Count help us create a map of the nation's view
of the night sky and monitor the impact of light pollution across the country.
Together we can work towards rewilding the night for the benefit of people and
wildlife – we hope you’ll join us!
As January rolls on, we hope you’ll be able to find some time to connect with
nature in your local countryside or green space. Writer and naturalist Susie
White who writes Country Diary entries for The Guardian shares her top tips –

SAVE THE DATE FOR STAR COUNT!
Save the date and sign up to count the stars with us between 17 and 24 February!
Your counts will help us make a map of where star-spotters are enjoying deep,
dark skies. By showing on a map where light pollution is most serious, we can
work with local councils and others to decide what to do about it. Last year,
thousands of you took part and we hope you'll join us again this year!
