Come learn the truth about bats and dispel their spooky reputation! Local bats help us with insect control while tropical bats pollinate plants that produce foods we love, like nuts, fruit, and even cacao that is turned into chocolate. Most local bat populations are in decline and over half in Illinois are threatened and endangered. Learn how you and Niabi can work together to protect bats.
