Bats are often thought to be scary or creepy; but it is really the night insects who have the most to fear from bats.  In fact, bats are one of the most unique, beneficial animals in the world.  They provide vital ecological benefits, including consumption of insect pests, pollination of some of our favorite fruits, and seed dispersal. They are the only mammal that can truly fly, and their use of echolocation to navigate and hunt has inspired development of sonar and other navigational technology.

They are found worldwide, with eight species of bat found right here in Wisconsin. Today, bats face the threat of widespread habitat destruction and disease

Join a presentation by River Bend Naturalist Christa Trushinsky to get to know Wisconsin’s bats a little better. From the tiny tri-colored bat that’s no bigger than your thumb to the large hoary bat with Mickey Mouse ears, all our bats play a crucial role in the ecosystems they call home.

Following the presentation, guests will take a night hike to monitor for these extraordinary animals using an acoustic bat detector.

This event has been made possible through a grant received from SC Johnson.
