A Mason Sustainability Institute, ReBuild Workshop:
Where are the Bats? A Discussion of Bats in an Urban/Suburban Landscape
Bats are some of the most mysterious and least understood mammals in North America, yet they contribute immensely to agriculture and landscape health. Right now bats face one of the largest wildlife health issues in recorded history and are dying in unprecedented numbers. Join Leslie Sturges, President of The Save Lucy Campaign, and learn about these fascinating, intelligent flying mammals and how you can help conserve them.
