Bats and Humans Need Each Other

Description

Without bats, grocery stores would look very different. Swarms of insects would rule the night. Birds, bats daytime counterparts, could never keep up on bug control responsibilities. Bats are one of the best friends we humans ever had! Unfortunately, more than half of our American bat species are in severe decline. Janet Raddatz, Wisconsin Master Naturalist, will share her knowledge of these special creatures that affect the quality of our life. Weather permitting, a bat walk will follow the presentation. Meet in the Sanderling Nature Center auditorium. Accessible bathrooms and a water bottle filler are available inside the nature center which is open 12:30-4:30 p.m. A Vehicle Admission pass is required and can be purchased online or at the Park Office upon arrival.

This event will be held rain or shine.
