Bats in British Columbia are an essential, vulnerable, and underappreciated species.  Join Emily in an introduction to the world's only flying mammal to discuss the benefits bats provide to our environment and the ways we can help them.  Over half of BC's bat species are listed as endangered or of special concern. This talk will explore the threats they face, bust common myths, explain what to do if you encounter one, and highlight the work of the BC Community Bat Program.  Learn how you can help protect these fascinating creatures and gain a new appreciation for the bats living in our own backyard.
