Bend museum features ‘Forest at Night’

The High Desert Museum in Bend has opened its latest interactive experience, Forest at Night, to showcase the realm of nocturnal species and the importance of preserving darkness for their survival. Insects, mammals and birds of prey have evolved over millions of years to navigate, hunt and thrive in the dark.

The exhibit simulates a forest illuminated by the glow of stars and moonlight. Constellations guide migrating birds on their journeys across the high desert.

The exhibit delves into the issue of light pollution. Artificial light disrupts ecosystems, posing a threat to nocturnal species. People can help by using motion sensors, installing shielded light fixtures and opting for warm-colored bulbs to minimize their impact on the night sky.

The exhibit is open through the end of the year. The museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at 59800 U.S. Highway 97.
