The Northampton County Parks and Recreation Division will host an early evening program with live bats at Louise W. Moore Park from 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Friday, October 20th.<\/p>\n
Join Sue Gallagher, Chief Naturalist with the Carbon County Environmental Education Center, for this free program about some of our wildlife neighbors\u2014bats!<\/p>\n
Sue will talk about local bats in Eastern Pennsylvania and the hazards they face. She will also speak about bat myths and misconceptions, the importance of bats in ecosystems worldwide, and, most importantly, how to help bats in your community. Sue will bring one or two of her live fruit bats, which serve as educational ambassadors on behalf of all 1,400 species of bats found around the globe.<\/p>\n
This event is open to the public. The hour-long program will be held at Pavilion 5 on the east side of Louise Moore Park (146 Country Club Road, Easton, PA). The program will be canceled only in the event of severe weather.<\/p>\n
