NATURE & OUTDOORS
SEASONAL NATURE WORKSHOP – BAT BOX Don’t bow down to the insect overlords! Fight back with your own personal flock of Winged Mammals! During this workshop, adult participants will separate fact from fiction while they learn about bat species native to South Texas, discover the many benefits bats provide to their environment, uncover threats to bats and create a bat house to install at their home. The cost of the bat house and necessary building materials will be covered in the registration fee for the program. Registered participants may bring one additional person, aged 18+ and named during registration, to help build the bat box. NATURE EXPLORER DAYS Nature Explorer Days are back this fall!
