Bats are fascinating and unique creatures that play a critical role in many environments around the world. However, dramatic population declines have put bats in the spotlight. Come discover how human activity and White-nose Syndrome have decimated bat populations. Learn the general facts and help dispel common myths and fears about the most underappreciated and misunderstood mammal on Earth. Join us for some tips on how to help conserve and protect these ecosystem superheroes.
