About This Event
Bats play a vital role in Pennsylvania’s ecosystems, yet many species face serious threats. PA Game Commission’s Environmental Education Specialist, Kelly Pollock, will introduce us to the fascinating world of bats, how they live, and why they are important. Featuring the Appalachian Bat Count and the work of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, the presentation shows how scientists and community members work together to monitor bat populations and protect these essential animals. Participants will discover simple ways they can help bats and become part of local conservation efforts. This program is appropriate for adults and interested teens ages 13+.
- Location: Lacawac Sanctuary - William E. Chatlos Environmental Education Center
- Cost: Free
While many of our programs and hikes are offered free of charge, Lacawac Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization that relies on donations to make this programming possible. If you are able, please consider adding even a small donation when you register to help support our environmental education efforts.
Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy:
- Lacawac reserves the right to reschedule, postpone, or cancel a program due to low registration (fewer than 10 attendees), weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond our control. Participants will be notified by email as soon as possible if changes are necessary.
- If Lacawac cancels a paid program, participants will receive a full refund of their registration fee. If Lacawac reschedules or postpones a paid program, tickets will automatically be honored for the new date. If a ticket holder cannot attend the rescheduled date, they may choose to donate their registration fee to support Lacawac’s nonprofit mission, or receive a credit toward a future Lacawac program.
- As a nonprofit organization, Lacawac incurs credit card processing fees for both registrations and refunds, which reduces funds available for programs. Thank you for understanding and for supporting our mission.
- No action is needed if you are able to attend on the new date. We encourage participants to check their email and Lacawac’s website and social media channels for updates, especially as weather conditions may impact programs.
