Description
Exploring the World of Bats and How You Can Help! with Erin Cord of Bat Conservation Int'l
Bats need our help now more than ever! A recent report determined that over 50% of our native bats are considered at-risk. Besides adding diversity and flair to local wildlife, our bats consume countless pest insects every single night. These nocturnal neighbors need our help now more than ever. Join Bat Conservation International's Community Engagement Manager Erin Cord as she talks about your local bats, the threats they face, and how you can help them right in the comfort of your own backyard! This event is co-hosted by The University of Tennessee Arboretum Society and Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning.
