Liv Monck–Whipp of NCC will tell us about the general biology of bats and the different species that are in our area. Once it starts to get dark, we will go on a short hike looking and listening for bats. Various devices will be used to help us see and hear them. We will meet at the Backus Woods parking lot at 750 East Quarterline Road and then walk in to some of the restored fields of Backus Block. Participants should bring a headlamp or flashlight, bug spray or bug jacket, long sleeves/pants and appropriate shoes for a short hike. Contact Len at 519-428-6796.
