Maureen Heidtmann, one of only three licensed wildlife rehabilitators in Connecticut specializing in caring for bats, joins us for an overview of bats of the world, with an emphasis on our nine local species. She will cover myths and misconceptions about bats, the many roles they play in ensuring a healthy planet, the perils they face as they struggle to survive, and their amazing resilience. Maureen has a permit from the USDA to keep non-releasable bats for educational purposes. She will bring an “ambassador” bat with her. No registration required. Fee:  $5 CAS members; $10 non-members.

(Rescheduled from April 20.)
