Did you know there are over 1,000 species of bats in the world, making up a quarter of all mammal species, and that some live for more than 40 years?
This very special evening program will begin with a presentation by Dave Johnston, Ph.D, followed by a bat discovery hike. (Yes, there are bats at Vasona!) You can join us for the presentation, the hike, or both.
Learn which bats eat mosquitoes and when, the natural history of our local bat, how they “see” in the dark with their ears, how they are being threatened, and what you can do to help them. The optional night time hike is an easy walk along Vasona lake and nearby lawn areas.
