Jerry Schneider will introduce families to local and tropical bats. Through slides and taped bat calls, he will dispel myths about bats and children will understand the vital role of these creatures, which help control insects, pollinate night blooming flowers, and are valuable dispersers of seeds. Families will also learn about bats in our attics, building bat houses, vampire bats, migration and hibernation.
Children may bring a plain tee shirt on which they can stencil a bat, or a plain shirt can be purchased for $4.
