Experience the magic of a late summer evening as we explore the wetlands around the Water Center in search of bats. Guided by Water Center educators and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service volunteers, we’ll take a leisurely sunset stroll along the Columbia River, learning about the unique features that make great bat habitat.
Using bat detectors, we’ll listen for the high-frequency calls of these fascinating nighttime creatures and discover more about their role in the local ecosystem.
This family-friendly program is designed for adults and youth ages 6 and older. Be prepared to walk up to 2 miles on a mix of paved trails, unpaved paths, and sandy, uneven beach terrain. Please leave flashlights at home to preserve the twilight atmosphere.
Registration is required. Sign up today! Space is limited.
