[July 09, 2013]  McLEAN -- Sugar Grove Nature Center in Funks Grove will host a "Go Batty!" event on July 17 from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. The program is for all ages.

Joe Kath, endangered species program manager for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, will give a presentation about bats and highlight those that might be caught during the evening. Then the group will use a bat detector and mist-nets to locate and (hopefully!) capture bats feeding along Timber Creek.

Participants will receive bat-related resources and feast on a batty snack.

The fee is $5 for members of the nature center and $7 per person for nonmembers. Registration is required. For more information or to register, call 309-874-2174 or email register@sugargrovenaturecenter.org.

Sugar Grove Nature Center is just south of Bloomington-Normal, off Old Route 66. For a map and directions, membership and program information, visit www.sugargrovenaturecenter.org.
