With a mix of forest and open space and a location along the Hudson River, Wave Hill supports a habitat that is ideal for native bats. During this special after-hours program, bat conservationists from Gotham Bat Conservancy share their passion for and knowledge of bats and reveal the surprising roles that they serve in our local ecosystem.

Learn about local bat species and their particular ID features, then venture outside to search for these nocturnal creatures as twilight sets in. Participants will be introduced to Gotham Bat Conservancy’s Citizen Science Project and the iNaturalist app and are invited to contribute their sightings to an on-going survey of local bat populations. You’ll go home with a greater appreciation for bats and the opportunity to contribute to urban bat conservation! This program has been moved to its rain date: July 19.

The Café and Shop are closed during this special program. Water and light snacks will be provided.
