Have you ever seen a bat up close? Are you curious to learn more about these nocturnal, flying mammals? Wenatchee River Institute is teaming up with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) for a night of bat education. You’ll have the chance to see these creatures up close! WDFW biologists will be using mist-nets to catch bats, a technique that’s often used by bat researchers during field work. They will be collecting data on any captured bats before releasing them. In addition to the mist-net stations, there will be other bat educational resources and activities – including moth expert Peter Smytheman with some moth and insect traps to help us observe these amazing night-flying insects!

Age Limit: 8+ years old
