Bats: Winged Wonders

Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. at the Center, 218 Day Rd in Pomfret

Celebrate International Bat Appreciation Day with a presentation by Maureen Heidtmann, one of only three licensed wildlife rehabilitators in Connecticut specializing in caring for bats. Maureen will begin with an overview of bats of the world, with an emphasis on our local species. She will cover myths and misconceptions, roles they play in ensuring a healthy planet, perils they face as they struggle to survive and their amazing resilience. Maureen has USDA permits to keep non-releasable bats and she’ll bring an “ambassador” bat with her.
