Bats in Our Backyard
presentation and walk
Christine Petersen
Wednesday September 11th 7-9pm
We'll begin with a "Bats 101" presentation - an overview of bat biology and diversity, habitat needs and how you can help these essential animals through native plantings and habitat protection. Then we'll go for a walk in Minnetonka's Civic Center Park to look and listen for feeding and migrating bats. Dress for the evening's forecasted weather. The trail is wheelchair-accessible. Recommended for adults and older children.
Christine Petersen is Natural Resources Engagement Coordinator at the city of Minnetonka. She spent part of her career as a bat biologist, and continues to write<https://apps.dnr.state.mn.us/volunteer_index/api/v1/article_pdf?id=8041> and deliver naturalist programs about them.
