Monthly Meeting - Bats and their Benefits

Bats of Florida
Learn who bats’ closest relatives are, what bats eat, and why they matter in our ecosystem! Bats are not just night time acrobats; they are so much more. Bats save the global economy billions of dollars each year and keep our natural resources safe. After this talk, you’ll want to thank a bat for all their hard work and help them thrive in our environment.
