Go Batty at the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum
Cornwall, NY - On Saturday, August 8, at 10 a.m., the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum will be hosting Beautiful, Beneficial Bats! Come join Environmental Educator Sasha Boucher at the Museum’s Outdoor Discovery Center on Muser Drive, across from 174 Angola Road to learn about the bats of New York and the survival challenges they face. Bats may have a creepy reputation, but they are vital to the control of Summer insects. “Bats are an important part of our ecology,” says Sasha. “They eat mosquitoes, stink bugs and other insects. They also assist in pollination of our favorite Summer fruits including peaches and mangoes.” Participants can assemble a bat house to take home that will attract bats to a safe place to roost. Bat house kits are optional and available for purchase on the Museum’s website for $25. One kit per family. Pre-paid registration is required. For adults with or without children and children ages 5 and up. Admission: $7/Adults - $5/Children. Museum Members: $5/Adults - $3/Children ages. For online registration, purchase of optional bat house kit or more information visit www.hhnm.org or call 845-534-5506, ext. 204.
