These nighttime creatures may be mysterious but they’re amazing too! Discover how native bats help Wisconsin’s farmers, how tropical bats help pollinate, and how disease can affect the bat population. We’ll finish the night outside, using special equipment to help us hear bats while they hunt for insects! (Class is scheduled until 8:30, but may run longer if the bats are active.)
Don’t delay! Register right away as classes may fill quickly. We also value our instructors’ time, so classes may risk being canceled due to low early enrollment. Thank you!
