Rangeley is seeking a Dark Sky Community certification

RANGELEY – Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust is behind a community-driven movement to conserve Rangeley’s night sky. Rangeley lies in Maine’s Western Mountains, surrounded by 200,000 acres of conserved lands. Vast swaths of uninhabited forest stretch from Madrid Township to the New Hampshire border and extend north to the Canadian border, making our region one of the darkest places left on the East Coast.

Dexter is a board member of RLHT and is well-known in the community.Read More
