Join the Environmental Science Center and the Woodland Park Zoo at Seahurst Beach Park in Burien on August 14th at 7:45 PM to learn about our local bats and the amazing adaptations that make them so important to our environment. Bats are a common across Washington state, including urban areas, but their nocturnal habits mean that people often don’t notice them. Taking the time to learn how to observe bats can change that! We will start with a short presentation about bats, introduce the procedures for collecting data, and go out and look for bats together!
We are empowering YOU to become a community scientist while learning more about local bat species and bat conservation issues. The BAT program involves going out to observe bats, right in your own neighborhood. The goal of the BAT program is to collect data on bat sightings across Washington.
This program is best for ages 8+ and will be held mostly outside in the park at dusk.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
