River Days and Nature Nights: Build a Big Brown Bat Buddy
May 16 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Join us for a creative, hands-on workshop at the River Center at Grant Park. During this needle-felting workshop, you’ll create your own felted bat to take home while learning fun facts about Big Brown Bats and their vital role in keeping our river ecosystem healthy.
Participants will also have the opportunity to take their new Bat Buddy on a guided Bat Walk, where you’ll learn how bats support the health of the San Diego River and surrounding communities. A separate sign-up will be available for the evening Bat Walk to see and hear bats along the river.
