Collaborative Summer Reading Week 1: Bat Boxes
July 7, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
This Wednesday kicked off our Summer Reading program, and was our first time collaborating with Darlene at the Clymer-French Creek Free Library. The bat box extravaganza was a huge success! We had a great time learning about bats and bat boxes, their role in our environment, and how we can help bring them back from the brink of extinction. We listened to a story about bats playing baseball, and then decorated many lovely new homes to keep our bat friends cozy and warm (thanks to a coat of black paint).
Many thanks to Molly Brown from Cornell Cooperative Extension for constructing all 49 bat boxes and for teaching us so much! And thanks to the Community Support Group- Summer Recreation for making this event possible! (Special shout out to Emma for helping us paint all the boxes—someone better make you a Thank You cake! )
