SUMMARY:Bats: Our Backyard Buddies
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nBrandon Burger\, Backyard Bird Shop Vancouver\nbackyardbirdshop.com\nAre you scared by bats? They have a bad reputation that they don’t deserve. There are over 1\,200 species of bats worldwide with more than a dozen found here in Washington; five of which are likely to use a bat house if placed correctly. Without bats we would be infested with crop destroying\, disease carrying insects; many of our favorite tropical treats including mangoes\, cashews and figs\, would not exist in the quantities we know today. Those frightening ‘vampire’ bats are even helping to treat stroke victims!\n\n\n\n\nBrandon will talk about these interesting bat facts and more just in time for his favorite holiday of the year: Halloween.\n\n\n\n10 a.m. to noon\, Saturday October 19\, 2024 at CASEE Center\, Bldg. B\, Room 205\,11104 NE 149th St.\, Brush Prairie\, WA.\n\n\nNatureScaping classes are free for members ($25 per year; $15 for seniors)\, or $15 per class for nonmembers.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration required at: info@naturescaping.org or call 360-737-1160.\n\n\nDownload Our Flyer – Bats Our Backyard Buddies

SUMMARY:Bats: Our Backyard Buddies
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nBrandon Burger\, Backyard Bird Shop\nwww.backyardbirdshop.com \nAre you scared by bats? They have a bad reputation that they don’t deserve. There are over 1\,200 species of bats worldwide with more than a dozen found here in Washington; five of which are likely to use a bat house if placed correctly. Without bats we would be infested with crop destroying\, disease carrying insects; many of our favorite tropical treats including mangoes\, cashews and figs\, would not exist in the quantities we know today. Those frightening ‘vampire’ bats are even helping to treat stroke victims! \nBats: Our Backyard Buddies flyer
