The public is invited to join this special presentation on bats and bat conservation. Biologists from SWCA Environmental Consultants will give a presentation on general bat biology and discuss how bat surveys are conducted.

The public will also be able to see and touch the netting and radiotelemetry equipment. The public will be able to observe the nets and any bats that are caught that evening. The biologists will show participants how the bats are handled and what measurements are taken.
