All About Bats
Join the Lake County Master Gardeners as they present a free program on "All About Bats” with Chuck Roth, Jr., horticulturist and owner of Chesterton Feed & Garden Center, on October 28, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. The program will take place at Purdue Cooperative Extension - Lake County, 2293 N.

Learn why bats are important to us and our ecosystem here and around the world, the endangerment of bats and how we can help protect them in their natural environments and habitats. Since it’s near Halloween we’ll bring up some myths about bats, too!
