The Wonderful World of Bats with educator Jerry Schneider

Let’s gather with conservation educator Jerry Schneider to investigate the wonderful world of bats!  This program brings students into the exotic world of bats.  Audience members will learn how vital bats are for maintaining a healthy environment.  Via interactive dialogue and slides, children move beyond old stereotypes to an understanding of the importance of bats for farmers, fruit growers, the rain forest, and us.  Learn about echolocation calls, hibernation, and migration. See vivid photos of tropical fruit bats, the tiny bumblebee bat, the vampire bat, Townsend’s Big Eared Bat, and the Pallid Bat.   All ages, with a focus on elementary students, are welcome to this program.

Children will have the opportunity to create bat tee shirts.  Heavy Gildan tee shirts can be purchased for $5, or kids may bring their own.
