We warmly invite you to join us for our event during Bat Week 2016, an annual celebration dedicated to sharing the importance of those flying, furry mammals we love-and need-so much. We're excited and you should be, too! On October 22nd, join us starting at 11:00 am for a program of activities that celebrates these valuable and enigmatic creatures. The program will begin with a brief presentation on the importance of bats in the environment; then build your own bat house to take home and finally help us improve bat habitat at the Wakefield for an hour of invasive removal so that we can plant native plants for bats!

This is your chance to learn about a fascinating animal, log some community service hours in a fun way, and really make a difference to your community and the environment.

Registration for this event is greatly appreciated. To register, call 617-333-0924x22.
