Bats are our most mysterious mammals; we are big fans and want you to be too! Learn what we can do to celebrate and support one of our most important species in a healthy, functioning ecosystem.

Conni Pope, Zoo Educator at BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo, will present a program on “Bats” to help raise awareness and the need to protect them. Wild Birds Unlimited will be on hand with bat wares for sale. 

Sip and sup on some fall-inspired Brews (for adults) from Rally Cap Brewing Co. and seasonal non-alcoholic beverages along with Jambalaya and Frito pies for all (on us!). 

All ages welcome. 

Bat Appreciation Week or Bat Week is an annual celebration that takes place from October 24-31. The week aims to raise awareness of the importance of bats and the need to protect them. Learn more about International Bat Week.
