Glide in for Bat Appreciation Day, an educational event celebrating the fascinating world of bats! Enjoy an adult-focused but family-friendly educational talk with bat experts Laurie and Larry Alvord and learn about the vital role bats play in ecosystems, from insect control to pollination. Walk outside among the trees to listen for bats, learn about our bat monitoring efforts, and gain a deeper appreciation for our winged friends of the night!

About the presenters: Larry Alvord has 35 years of experience in research and development doing material testing in the medical device industry.
