Share Description
Bats play a big role in our food production. They also help protect us from pesky mosquitoes that transmit diseases. Unfortunately for too long people think of bats as "flying mice" or "little Dracula's". Nothing is farther from the truth. This presentation will present facts about the plight bats are facing. It is extremely important that we protect all bats because if we don't, it will impact us all. Our presenter, Susie Kaplar, began working with bats when she lived in Northern California. Susie is one of a handful of fully licensed and permitted bat rehabbers in the state of Tennessee. Susie has decided it is her mission to inform people about the importance of bats and says, " We are losing so many bats presently, we need to save as many as we can. Between rehabilitation and getting the word out through education programs, it is my life goal to ensure the existence of our bats."
This event is co-hosted by Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning (tcwp.org)
