Don't miss your chance to see a native bat up close from the convenience of your living room. Join us for a great presentation on the only true flying mammal and learn what makes bats so successful. Did you know that almost 1 in every 5 mammal species is a bat? Virginia is home to 17 species of bats, including the tricolored bat, recently proposed for protection as an endangered species by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Leslie Sturges will share some of her favorite facts about bats, review the species native to our region, talk about bat conservation, and provide an update on the impact of white-nose syndrome among Virginia's bat population. As a special treat, she may even introduce us to one of her captive bats. More information and registration here.
