Did you know that bats are the pollinators of the tequila agave? Enjoy a delicious tequila popsicle as you listen to a local bat expert discuss the important role of bats in our ecosystem as pest control, seed dispersers, and pollinators. Then go on a bat hike and use special detectors to listen to bat sonar over the Arboretum.
Please dress for the weather and wear walking shoes.
Keep the batty fun going by joining us for our free, family-friendly Bat Fest on Saturday, September 27 from 10 am – 2 pm.
