Have you ever wondered what kind of bats and other creatures of the night live in Florida? Meet at the UF/IFAS St. Lucie County Extension for an informative bat chat. Learn about this fascinating, beautiful, misunderstood mammal that is an essential part of a healthy ecosystem. Participants will also learn about bats in bridges. As the sun sets we will travel to a nearby bat colony. Gioeli will bring along bat detectors and night vision goggles for our quest to discover these nocturnal creatures!
