Bats' adaptations like suction cup thumbs, echolocation, and huge eyes for capturing available light, make them fascinating creatures to learn about. In addition, they're extremely beneficial to our society through insect population control and medical research contribution. Learn more about echolocation, bat communication, and the social structures of bat colonies. Discover the life history and biology of bats, what's truth and what's myth, and the conservation challenges that threaten their population today. Led by Patti Steinman, the Education Coordinator for Mass Audubon’s Connecticut River Valley Sanctuaries, based out of Arcadia in Easthampton and Northampton. She has worked at Mass Audubon for 30 years (she is old), developing and overseeing programs for adults, families, and children.
