JBS After Dark: Bats

As dusk turns to dark, the sky belongs to the bats! Learn how bats use echolocation to "see" in the dark, why they're essential to a healthy wetland ecosystem, and bust some common bat myths along the way. It's a wild, winged adventure you won't want to miss!

We'll spend some time learning about bats of the wetland before heading out to search for them. Be prepared to walk over gravel and uneven surfaces. Photography is permitted, but handling wildlife will not be tolerated.

All participants must be comfortable walking outside in wooded areas without lights and be able to remain silent during periods of the program.

While we can't promise you'll see any bats (wildlife doesn't always cooperate!), but we can promise you'll enjoy the special experience of JBS after dark and leave knowing more about bats.
