Description
Join members of the Florida Bat Conservancy for a Bat House Building Workshop at Fort Cooper State Park and learn how to build and install an effective bat house. Bats consume millions of insect pests each year and a well-placed bat house helps replace lost natural roosts and gives bats a place to call home! Participants will build their bat house with the guidance of an instructor and take home a bat-ready roost! Space is limited, you must RSVP. Please call 321-890-6154 to reserve your bat house kit and register for the workshop. This workshop is appropriate for families with school-aged children with parental participation. Participants should bring a battery-operated screwdriver or drill gun with charged batteries, a phillips head screwdriver bit and a hammer. Wear comfortable, old clothes, as we will be using caulk. Close-toed shoes are also recommended. Bring drinking water and plan for a full, two hour workshop.
