Join us for this exciting educational program to explore the myths and facts surrounding Florida Bats, written and presented by The Bat Lady, Shari Blissett-Clark, President of Florida Bat Conservancy.
About the program:
Bats are fascinating mammals that play important roles in habitat diversity and health, but many people are afraid of them because of superstition, folklore, and misinformation. This program exposes the secret world of bats and replaces the myths with facts about the "super-powers" that bats possess. We'll explore the places that bats live, what they eat, and why bats are so important to people. We'll discuss easy ways to help bats survive and thrive in yards and neighborhoods. Florida native bats will be exhibited after the program!
Space is limited, please RSVP and arrive early to sign-in and be seated. Program begins promptly at 1:30 pm.
Date: 10/25/2019 (Fri.)
Time: 1:30pm - 2:45pm EDT
Location: Boca Grande Community Center
