Bats: Be Afraid! Be very afraid...for them, not of them!

Join us as Bonnie Miles, certified Virginia Master Naturalist and former bat rehabilitator, dispels the myths about one of nature’s most misunderstood and maligned animals. We’ll learn all about these amazing creatures, including bats’ valuable place in ecosystems around the globe, and the many threats they currently face—such as White-nose Syndrome, habitat loss and degradation, wind turbines, and disturbance and persecution.

The first 10 people to register and attend will receive a free decorative wood bat garland for Halloween. (Limit 1 per household.) Paint and other supplies will be available after the presentation for anyone who would like to stay and decorate their garland before taking it home.

Registration is requested. We will need a minimum of 5 registrations to avoid canceling the program.
