All About Bats (Hammel Woods)

Hammel Woods- Route 59 Access • 554 Brook Forest Ave ShorewoodIL  60404 Organized by Forest Preserve District of Will County

About this event

Description

Join a naturalist to learn about these often misunderstood fascinating creatures of the night. Learn about our local bat species and find out how they are essential to a healthy ecosystem. As the bats silently leave their daytime roost, we’ll use bat-detecting equipment to reveal exactly who is heading out into the night. Then we’ll head out for a short hike to explore bat habitat and see if we can spot them performing their nightly aerial acrobatics as they search for food. The hike will be less than 1 mile on natural surfaces over uneven terrain. Meet at the Shorewood Grove Shelter.
