RI Land Trust Days - Tuesday August 16th, 2016 7:30 pm > Lawton FarmScituate Land Trust & Conservation Commission invite you to a Bat Talk & Walk at Lawton Farm!
Join us Tuesday, August 16th at 7:30 pm for a walk and talk about bats! What are the benefits of bats? What special adaptations do they have, and how can we protect these special mammals? These are just some of the questions that will be answered by University of Rhode Island professor, Dr. Peter August. Have you ever heard a bat talk? Bats are indeed chatty creatures, but our ears can’t hear them — unless, of course, we use a super special “bat detector.” This device picks up the bats’ “clicks” used in echolocation. During our summer Bat Walk and Talk program, we’ll use the bat detector to hopefully locate bats and follow their movements. Dr. August is a Professor in the URI Department of Natural Resources Science where he teaches classes in geographic information systems and landscape ecology. He has studied bats in New England, the Caribbean, and South America. |
