Join Ceacy Henderson, a wildlife rehabilitator and principal of the Colrain Center for Conservation and Wildlife.

Share Ceacy’s passion for these often-misunderstood animals, accompanied by breathtaking photographs by Merlin Tuttle. No, they’re not “flying mice”! Ceacy will explore the incredible diversity of bats and their various adaptations and lifestyles, and then focus on bats you’re likely to see in your backyard here in New England. You will learn about bats’ significance in various ecosystems and the many fascinating aspects of bat physiology that scientists around the world are studying to understand bats and their unique relationship to viruses. Have a closer look into some of the most unique mammals on the planet. Children will love this one!

Donations are encouraged but not mandatory, and will go to support the Dummerston Conservation Commission and Dummerston Community Center.
