Hangin' With Bats
Saturday, June 1 from 6:30-8:30 pm

Maybe you know that bats are capable of eating thousands of mosquitos each night (they can eat their body weight in insects!) but, did you know that a few species of long-nosed bats are the primary pollinators of the agave plant in Mexico? Tequila is made from the heart of this important plant. In fact, over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination!

 

At Hangin' With Bats, Woodcock educators along with bat expert Maureen Heidtmann (also a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and Certified Wildlife Conservationist with CT DEEP) will explore the importance of bats during a short interactive presentation. Attendees will also have an opportunity to meet a local ambassador bat as well as take raft rides on the Woodcock pond to (hopefully!) spot local bats and other wildlife. Event partner Beam Suntory will provide a tequila and margarita tasting experience fireside in the pavilion.
