Join our friend, Aaron Sidder from Bat Conservation International, for a bat event! Aaron will lead a discussion on the ecology of bats, where they live, what they do, and why they’re important. He’ll also bring in some tips for making your home, yard, or park more bat-friendly. While we circumnavigate on the trail, Aaron will show attendees how to identify species bats in real-time with an Echo Meter Touch Bat Detector and how to report a bat roosting site on the Colorado Bat Watch website!

You will need to bring water, anti-mosquito protection of your choice, layers if necessary, and anything else you may personally need.

Aaron is an ecologist for Bat Conservation International and a board member here at Rocky Mountain Wild. He is an experienced field ecologist whose research has taken him to the Everglades, Southwestern deserts, and the top of the Rocky Mountains.
