In January 2015, Oracle State Park hosted a South Korean Dark Skies Delegation. They had wanted to see an IDA “International Dark Sky Park” (IDSP) and learn what was required from a Park whose application had been successful. Their efforts resulted in Yeongyang Firefly Eco Park becoming an IDSP later in 2015.
Last week, Oracle State Park once again hosted members of a Dark Skies Delegation, this time with members of the staff of Yeongyang Firefly Eco Park, including the Manager of Yeongyang Firefly Eco Park, Jung Young Kil. Professor Won-Kil Jeong, from Daegu Haany University, who we called “David”, returned as the translator.
After a tour of the Kannally Ranch House and a visit to various sites at the Oracle State Park, Oracle State Park Manager Vince Micalleff exchanged gifts with the delegates.
