Gardening For Bats
Bat ecologist and naturalist Jenna Ellett will get you jazzed about bats, nature’s forgotten pollinators. From conservation to habitat protection, this family-friendly program will get you excited about what you can do to help bats. You will learn, hike, meet a live animal, and wrap up our evening by creating “seed bombs” that you can take home. You will not want to miss this dynamic workshop. Ages 6+ (price per person). $25 general public/$20 CNC members. Registration required by Thursday,…

Come and explore the sounds and sights of the forest. On the hike, participants will keep their eyes and ears open for the calls of owls and maybe even spot some bats swooping down to feed on insects. Your evening with CNC also includes an animal encounter and a relaxing campfire where you can roast a marshmallow. All ages. Capacity may be limited so we highly encourage registering before the event. $12 General Public / $10 CNC Members; Registration Required.
