HARDWICK – Tuesday, October 28, at 6:30 p.m., the Jeudevine Memorial Library will present small mammals biologist Alyssa Bennett from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department to talk about the varieties of bats in Vermont. Vermont is home to nine species of bats, each with their own unique habitat needs and threats. Bennett will talk about the research being conducted to battle disease and help populations rebound, and how Vermont is a national leader in bat conservation. Attendees will learn how to help bats in their own backyard, from putting up bat houses and keeping cavity trees to safely getting bats out of the home.
This event is free and open to the public in the Parker Ladd Community Room, 93 N. Main St. Call the library at (802) 472-5948 or visit our website for more information.
