About the event
Meet at Cherokee Park (the neighborhood park, not the conservation park), near 1201 Burning Wood Way. Park along the street and meet at the basketball court. Free, but please RSVP. Each walk is limited to 20 registrants. Children are welcome if fully supervised by an adult.
Join Wisconsin master naturalist and DNR bat ambassador Kathlean Wolf on an evening walk to learn about Wisconsin’s most lovable and amazing mammals: bats! Learn about our state’s eight species of bats, how humans benefit from their presence, the impact of white-nose fungus and other threats to their survival, and how we can help our Wisconsin bats survive and thrive. After the introduction, use Echometer Touch sensors to eavesdrop on bat calls and identify which species fly the skies over Cherokee Marsh. On our 2025 bat walks, we detected six of Wisconsin's eight species!
