Did you know that bats are more closely related to primates than rodents!? Earth’s 1400 bat species make up nearly a quarter of our planet’s mammal diversity!
Join Wisconsin DNR Bat Biologist and Cave and Mine Specialist, Jennifer Redell, for an engaging presentation about the importance and intrigue of local bats. Whitenose Syndrome has challenged both bats and the people who work with them, but there are some recent reasons for hope and exciting new discoveries. Learn how a community of caretakers studies, protects, and interprets the lives of Wisconsin’s eight bat species. Join in to hear how you can help these neighborhood night-fliers.
