Let’s talk…BATS!

Saturday, July 15, 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.

Bats are one of the most misunderstood mammals in the world. Mandy Sartain, Mississippi State University Extension Service, will share her knowledge and expertise with these flying mammals and help to set the record straight. Across Mississippi, insect-eating bats contribute to a healthy environment and provide incredible benefits to our ecosystems. They are also a primary predator of night-flying insects. Mandy is well aware that “bats evoke different feelings and thoughts within different folks when they appear in the evening sky. Some are in awe of the flying mammals’ acrobatics, while others are hesitant to appreciate their nightly presence.” The fact remains, bats are a vital part of taking care of our environment!
