Bats: Fact vs. Myth

Join us in the field to talk about these misunderstood creatures. We will go over the species of bats found in Maine and their current conservation status. In addition, we will dispel some myths frequently held about bats. Hopefully at dusk we can see some bats starting to fly around and feed for the night. Using a bat detector and an iPhone we will try to identify several species of bats from their ultrasonic frequencies.

Suitable for ages 12 to 100. Please be prepared for a short walk and mosquitoes. In the event of bad weather, the rain date will be Wednesday, August 3rd.

Location update: This program will take place at Broadturn Farm
