Event Description:
In celebration of California Biodiversity Day, join us to discover the wild wonders of California’s 25 bat species. We will learn how to see them with our eyes, ears, and microphones! Meet at the Visitor Center for a sunset chat followed by a short walk with live bat acoustic detectors. Bat biologists will lead small groups to remain at the Visitor Center or walk along the River Walk or Boardwalk Trail.
Accessibility:
Terrain at the Visitor Center is easily accessible. Trails are well maintained but offer some uneven terrain. Restrooms will be open and accessible during this event. Cell reception is generally good in this area.
Parking:
There is ample parking in two lots, near the Visitor Center and near the Boardwalk Trail. The gates, which normally close at sunset, will remain open for this event.
What to Bring:
headlamp
walking shoes
water and snacks
warm layers for an evening outside
your burning bat questions
