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.
