Wisconsin Bats

Description

Wisconsin bats are under threat due to an endemic fungal disease, loss of habitat and misunderstandings about their lives. 

In this program, you will learn more about these nocturnal flying creatures that share the night sky, why we need to protect them and what you can do in your own backyard to help them. We’ll also spend some time at the end of the program using high-tech bat equipment to discover what bats are flying around the park.

Presenter Heather Mishefske is a Wisconsin Master Naturalist and Wisconsin DNR Bat Ambassador who provided education and outreach around the state on bats.
