Join the McKaig Nature Education Center and Dr. Brandi C., Research Scientist from Bat Conservation International, for an immersive evening into the hidden world of Pennsylvania's nocturnal guardians.

📚 The Experience
The Deep Dive: We begin at the historic Old Roberts Schoolhouse for a 45-minute masterclass on our native species, including the Little Brown and Big Brown bats. Discover their role as nature’s pest control and the conservation challenges they face, such as White-Nose Syndrome.

The "Big Rush": At sunset, we’ll take a short walk (0.15 mile) to the McKaig pond. This is prime time for foraging activity. You’ll witness bats skimming the water’s surface and hunting emerging insects.

Sonic Sight: Using specialized ultrasonic equipment, we will translate high-frequency echolocation calls into sounds human ears can hear, letting you "see" the night through their eyes.

📍 Event Logistics
Check-in: 6:50 PM at Old Roberts Schoolhouse.

Donation: $12 per adult; children under 16 are free.
