Program Description
Event Details
This program brings students into the exotic world of bats. Kids will learn how vital bats are for maintaining a healthy environment (did you know that a Little Brown Bat eats up to 1000 mosquitoes in one night?). Via interactive dialogue and slides, children move beyond old stereotypes, to an understanding of the importance of bats for farmers, fruit growers, the rain forest, and us. Learn about echolocation. See vivid photos of tropical fruit bats, the tiny bumblebee bat, the vampire bat, Townsend’s Big Eared Bat, and the Pallid Bat. Learn about echolocation calls, hibernation and migration. Children will create bat tee shirts at the end of the program.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Marlborough Public Library.
