McLEAN -- A
program called "Go Batty!" will be presented at Sugar Grove Nature
Center on June 27 from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. This is the Year of the
Bat, and the program is an opportunity to learn about bats and see
some up-close.
|
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 program. Then,
participants will use a bat detector and mist-nets to locate and
(hopefully) capture bats feeding along Timber Creek. This program
is great for all ages. Participants will receive bat-related
materials and feast on a batty snack.
The fee is $5 for members of the nature center and $7 for
nonmembers. Registration is required.
For more information or to register, phone 309-874-2174 or email
register@sugargrovenaturecenter.org.
