Bats are an important part of a functioning ecosystem, and with natural habitats in decline they need our help. You can welcome bats in your very own backyard by providing food, water, and shelter – creating bat habitat in even the smallest of spaces. In return, insectivorous bats will eat many of your unwanted yard and garden pests. In addition to pest control, you can simply enjoy their nightly displays of aerial acrobatics.
You might be surprised: bats don't always live in caves. A bat house is a great way to provide shelter for bats, especially as a summer roost. Materials and instruction will be provided at this workshop.
Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
Cost is $30 per bat house kit (not per person). Bring a cordless drill.
