All About Bats Workshop
Learn all about bats while decorating a bat house
Join Yellowhead County’s Agricultural Services during bat week to learn about the benefits of bats – your friendly neighbourhood insectivores! This workshop includes painting and decorating a prebuilt bat house and accompanying presentation with Lisa Wilkinson, the provincial bat specialist, teaching us all about bats.
The workshop will take place on October 28th from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm at the Peers Multiplex. All supplies for painting and decorating the bat houses will be provided.
There are two options in how you can participate in the workshop.
Option 1: For $35 you can purchase a prebuilt bat house that you decorate during the workshop and then take home to hang up.
Option 2: For $5 you can participate by decorating a community bat house that will be hung up at a Yellowhead County campground or parks space after the event.
All decorating supplies, snacks and refreshments, and the informative bat talk are included are included in both options
If choosing option 1 please note these are 4 chamber bat houses and are quite large. They will only work on a rural property and are not intended to be hung up in towns or hamlets.
Please register early as the number of kits available is limited. There is a maximum of 2 bat houses per family. Please register online at www.yhcounty.ca/registration
