All workshop participants will get to visit the cave and discuss the role such projects can play in the future of bat conservation. In addition to learning BCI's most successful recipes for creating public programs, participants will review educational materials, learn how to facilitate several of BCI's new bat lesson plans, assist in the construction of a bat house, discuss bat habitat on a group hike, and learn about bats of different regions using habitat range maps. Everyone will receive educational handouts, a reference workbook, a discount coupon for BCI educational materials, a certificate of completion, and continuing education credit from the Texas Environmental Educational Advisory Committee. As our fun-filled day draws to a close, participants will have the option of reconvening in the evening for a field trip, during which we will see bats in action and learn about some of the methods scientists use to observe bats in the wild. We are able to bring you this opportunity at such a reduced price thanks to special support from the Bass Foundation.
Space is limited, so please register soon.
