July 10: Bats of the World

Jul
10
Begins: July 10, 2026 10:00 am
Ends: July 10, 2026 11:00 am

Bats comprise nearly one-quarter of the world’s approximately 4,000 mammal species, yet humans continue to fear and misunderstand them. Bats do so much to help us survive, but now they need our help.

Our engaging slideshow, and interactive demonstrations, will introduce participants to the role bats play in ecosystems ranging from the Maine woods to the South American rainforests, to help dispel common myths about these flying mammals.

Participants leave the program with an appreciation for the tremendous diversity of bats in the world and for their irreplaceable niche in natural ecosystem.

Please note that we do not currently have any live bats for this presentation. Hosted by Shaw Public Library in Greenville, ME.
