International Bat Appreciation Day
Bats are very important animals that are feared and misunderstood by many. Come out for a night of adventure. The night will start with a presentation discussing general facts about bats, bat habitat, where the best locations are to watch bats at night, how to minimize a bat encounter if you have bats feeding or roosting on your property, and ways to support and help local bat populations. This presentation will be followed by a stroll through Ladner Harbour Park where you will be able to watch and hear bats in their natural habitat. During the walk, we will discuss echolocation and how to safely watch bats. Come out for an extraordinary night of bat education and fun. Please wear close toed shoes, pants, and long sleeves for the walk.
Be sure to visit your local Fraser Valley Regional Library before the event to sign out a BatPack: Bat Packs - FVRL
