Additional Information: Instructed by:
Join us at Bicentennial Conservation Area for a program on Missouri's bats with MDC’s bat team. The team will set up mist nets, very thin nets designed to gently trap local bats as they fly overhead in search of insects. MDC’s bat team will remove the bats from the net to check on their overall health and then weigh and sex them. This is a great opportunity for you to see some of our flying mammals up close and ask questions of the professionals. Meet us at the Mort Walker trailhead. Bring your own camp chair or blanket and wear comfortable clothes for being outdoors. A headlamp or flashlight and insect repellent is highly recommended. Registration is required. Best for ages 5 and up. Jessie Ballard
