Bats: Friends in the Night Sky!

Have you ever met a bat? 

The Center for Wildlife will be providing an informative talk about bats - learning about what they provide for us, how they live and what they look like up close! Have you ever seen one flying in circles at dusk? How do they talk to each other and what do they use to hunt? What are the common misconceptions that bats face from the public? What unique adaptations do they have to help them survive? Answers to these and more will be discussed when you come meet and say hello to the Center for Wildlife bat friends!

This is the second program of our Fall 2024 Wildlife Series, cosponsored with the Center for Wildlife. Join us again on November 12 (Owls) and December 10 (Birds of Prey).

Our Cosponsor - CENTER FOR WILDLIFE

Center for Wildlife proudly serves the New England region typically managing 2,000 patients each year (native wildlife injured because of vehicle collisions, domestic pets, pollution, fishing lines, oil spills, and other human-related causes), representing more than 190 species of birds, reptiles, and mammals. The goal of their wildlife clinic is to not only medically treat and provide rehabilitation to injured wild animals so that they can be released back to the wild but also use data collected to better support broad systemic change.

For over 20 years, Center for Wildlife has also provided environmental education outreach programs bringing live animal ambassadors to schools, libraries, state parks, senior centers, professional conferences, and many other venues. Their Project Wild educators now provide a unique learning experience to over 13,000 individuals each year and enjoys partnerships with local groups committed to environmental education.
