About this event
**Doors open at 2:30pm. Program starts at 3pm**
Bats are often thought of as scary despite offering a galore of benefits to humans. We’ll learn more about these diverse, misunderstood creatures by discussing bat adaptations, how bats are studied, and taking a closer look at the 12 species found right here in Louisiana. Join us as we debunk myths, increase our nocturnal knowledge, and fly into the night with a better understanding of our mammal relatives!

She currently works as a Wildlife Biologist, and her favorite portion of the job is conducting bird surveys and bat mist netting. In her spare time, Carissa enjoys reading, bicycling, and walking her giant dog.
