Bats play a vital role in our ecosystem. They also have a fascinating relationship with century plants (the blooming flower of Havard agaves). Come learn how these migratory pollinators procured their peculiar nickname.

Join local master naturalist, Lindsey Bredemeyer, as he shares recent research about habitat restoration on Mexican Long-Nosed bats.
