Want to learn more about bats and their fascinating lives, dispel common myths, and explore their invaluable ecological contributions?

Join us at the Beacon Food Forest as we spread our wings and adventure into the realm of bats. Gain valuable insight into bats and their fascinating lives, dispel common myths, and explore their invaluable ecological contributions. Get information on how their presence helps maintain the balance of the ecosystem and contributes to the overall health and sustainability of the Beacon Food Forest and Seattle's natural habitats – including our farms and home gardens.

The presentation will be followed with participants being led through a community science activity of watching bats while they learn to record and submit data for the BAT program.

Presenter Info:

This presentation is part of the Bat Activity Trends (BAT) program at Woodland Park Zoo. The goal of the BAT program is to raise awareness and improve perceptions of local bat species, educate community members about the importance of local bats, and create a bat activity map showing where in King County bat activity is lowest and highest, that can be used for conservation work, to increase awareness, show trends, and as an educational resource.

Woodland Park Zoo saves wildlife and inspires everyone to make conservation a priority in their lives.

While this class is part of a series of free classes being offered by the Beacon Food Forest Education Committee registration is required as space is limited.
