Night Hike: Bats

Bats have long been the subject of lore and myth. Separate fact from fiction as evening twilight descends upon the woodland then embark on a guided night hike to discover the diversity of bat species in Will County. Bat sounds undetected by human hearing will be revealed with the help of bat-vocalization-detecting equipment. Fee: Free! Age: Ages 10 and older. Registration required by Wednesday, Sept. 4, by calling 708-946-2216 or online. Meet at the Hawthorn Grove Shelter. The hike will be up to 1 mile long and take place in low light on both paved and natural trails over uneven terrain. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
