Duluth Branch

Bat Week is an international, annual celebration designed to raise awareness about the need for bat conservation.

Bats are amazing creatures that are vital to the health of our natural world and economy. Although we may not always see them, bats are hard at work all around the world each night - eating tons of insects, pollinating flowers, and spreading seeds that grow new plants and trees. Presented at the Duluth Branch.
