If you don’t like mosquitoes or bugs that bug you, then you have to love bats! These fascinating flying mammals (the only mammal that truly flies) can each eat many hundreds of insects per night, which makes them a vital part of nature’s balance. There’s so much to learn - and maybe re-learn - about our region’s native bat species, you and your family won’t want to miss this fun and informative program.
Join us Saturday, May 30th at 7:30 PM for a free educational presentation and guided night walk! (Weather permitting)
Program Type: Presentation and Nature Walk
Age Recommendation: Ages 12+
Discovery Center - From the Newport News Park main entrance, proceed 1 mile on Constitution Ave; the Discovery Center and parking lot is on the right - look for the Civil War canon! For more information about this program, please call the Discovery Center at (757) 886-7916
