Bats: Heroes of the Night
As the day starts to settle into night at Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, bats awaken, stir and streak into the evening sky. Come hear fascinating tales of our flying mammals. We will spend time near the picnic tables hearing stories about our little heroes’ nighttime adventures. We will then take a short walk to see our bats begin their evening of hunting for insects. Be prepared to walk about 1/2 mile. If bringing children, 15-minute early arrivals will have some time to make a bat-related craft.
Parking: $3/car at Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park parking lot. Parking is limited; carpooling is encouraged.
Difficulty Rating: 1/5
Materials: Participants must bring water and wear closed-toed shoes. Please dress appropriately for the weather, including spending a limited amount of time outside after dark. A camping or beach chair will be welcome for comfort if you don’t want to sit on the benches. Flashlights disturb our nighttime friends, but a flashlight with a red bulb will be less disruptive.
