The New England Light Pollution Advisory Group (NELPAG) is a volunteer organization founded in 1993 to educate the public on the benefits of using efficient, glare-free outdoor night lighting. It is an affiliate of the International Dark Sky Association.
NELPAG maintains a wide range of resources about outdoor-lighting issues. These include background articles on the terminology and principles of outdoor lighting, details of current and pending state legislation concerning outdoor lighting, a chronicle of relevant news reports from the New England region, lists of towns with outdoor-lighting regulations, and samples of such ordinances.
NELPAG also sponsors occasional meetings throughout the New England region that bring together lighting engineers, astronomers, policy makers, journalists, and the general public for discussion of improvement in outdoor night lighting.
