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.

Update: There is a second Bat Walk on August 28 that has space available.  Please return to the main event calendar to sign up for that program.
