To celebrate National Bat Appreciation Day (April 17th), MassWildlife’s Bat Conservation Program Coordinator, Jennifer Longsdorf, will share her knowledge and experience regarding the most underappreciated and misunderstood mammal on Earth at the Millers River Environmental Center in Athol on April 10th from 7 to 9 p.m.

Come discover how human activity and White-nose Syndrome have decimated bat populations.  Learn the general facts and help dispel common myths and fears about these shy, gentle and intelligent creatures.  Get some tips on how to help conserve and protect these ecosystem superheroes.

This event is sponsored by the Athol Bird and Nature Club and is free and open to the public.
