The Benefits of Having Bats [2010-7/18
07/18/2010
Professor Christine Portfors

Professor Christine Portfors, of Washington State University in Vancouver, is an expert on bats. You may have some negative feelings about bats and if you do that would be a very good reason to join us. Bats play a very beneficial role in our environment but we don't notice it because they are active after dark. They consume many bugs and insects you don't really care for. Professor Portors will also show us how to build a bat house. After hearing her presentation, you may want to have one in your area.
