LEC - Bats: Beauty of the beasts

Bats are not the creepy, scary and vicious animals they are sometimes believed to be. However, bats do rank very high on the list of most disliked species and are greatly misunderstood. Encouraging bats to nest near your house with a bat box is a natural way to repel annoying insects in your yard. Give these mosquito-eating creatures a place to roost in time for trick-or-treat season and reap the benefits year-round.

Join us as we explore the world of bats and discover how beneficial bats are. After the program, participants can enter a drawing for a bat box.

Meet in Lyonia Environmental Center's classroom, 2150 Eustace Ave., Deltona.
