Explore The Last Green Valley
What Is The Last Green Valley?
The Last Green Valley is green by day and dark by night. We are a National Heritage Corridor with a rich history in a surprisingly rural landscape. With 84% forest and farm, we are the last swath of dark night sky in the coastal sprawl between Boston and Washington DC.
The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) works for you in the National Heritage Corridor. Together, we can care for it, enjoy it and pass it on!

Lead Night Sky Ranger Geoff -- aka Star Dad to you Girl Scouts out there -- has posted his video to help you enjoy the May night sky. Jupiter will leave our night skies by the end of the month but Saturn will begin rising earlier. The Eta Aquarids Metoer shower is active now through May 28 and will peak May 5-6. These meteors originate from the dust trail of Halley's Comet. We won't see the actual comet until 2061, just in case you were wondering. The photo you see here is from NASA and is a close up of Saturn's rings. We will post the link in the comments. 😉
