All about Bats

Bats do many incredible tasks in their ecosystems, from eating thousands of insects to pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds. Join Naturalist Jim D’Angelo for a fascinating look into the lives of bats to discover the truths surrounding many common myths and the difficulties bats face.  We will also discuss how you can help these beneficial creatures of the night.  After the indoor presentation, we will take a short walk to watch bats feeding on insects over the fields.  A particular bat detector instrument will also allow us to hear their echolocation calls. The program is free and open to the public.
