Two participants with their bat boxes
11 kids came out to Schor Conservation Area on a snowy October Saturday to build bat boxes. Bats are in alarming decline due to decades of unwarranted human fear and persecution, white nose syndrome, and habitat loss. Building bat boxes provides our local bats with roosting habitats. Fun fact: bats are predators of night-flying insects and often eat half of their body weight in a single night.
