Welcome to the cyber-home of the Dark Ranger!Greetings people of Earth! My name is Kevin "The Dark Ranger" Poe and I'm the Head Dark Ranger at Bryce Canyon National Park - where the illustrious Dark Ranger tradition began in the year 2000. With the help of this website, I hope to further the Dark Ranger mission which is to heighten public awareness to the ravages of light pollution and the EVEN MORE dire host of concerns pending the unmitigated calamity known as  anthropomorphic global climate change.
