CYPRESS HILLS INTER-PROVINCIAL PARK DARK-SKY PRESERVE

The Cypress Hills is one of the darkest areas remaining in North America.  An opportunity existed to preserve the dark skies and at the same time, provide an eco-tourism opportunity for the park.  The declaration of a Dark-Sky Park fits well with park policies of preservation of the environment.
