Bat Walk

We discovered the amazing nightlife of NJ bats!

This was truly amazing!

The Bat Walk on Friday night, July 23, was a huge success. Nearly 50 youth and adults gathered to hear details from the Rutgers experts about bats in the area. Then, everyone hiked through the field to see and hear the bats fly out from the woods over the meadow to gather their insect dinner.

Thanks to all who made this possible (see list of groups involved below)! More bat fun is coming this fall. Plans are in the works for "Batapalooza" in October. Stay tuned for details!
