NATURE OF THINGS LECTURE SERIES - Bat ManiaWhen: Wednesday, February 1, 2017
Hosted by Heartwood Chapter, Texas Master Naturalist.
The topic is "BAT MANIA" by Texas Parks & Wildlife. Every Texan lives near bats. Some of Texas’ 33 bat species prefer limestone regions with caves, sinkholes, streams and large springs. Others are found in forests, and many call highway bridges home. There are bats roosting and foraging across the plains and in the canyon lands. Crops, forests and orchards — as well as native plants across the state — benefit from the pest management provided by bats.
Meeting time is 6 pm, but come a little early to enjoy refreshments and get to know our members.
Location: The Classroom Building at Jones State Forest, 1328 FM1488 - one mile West of I-45. If you need help finding it, call Teri at 281.381.3281.
