Join us to learn about Arizona’s bats and the role they play in the desert ecosystem. Arizona is home to 29 different bat species, and this talk covers their biology, behavior, and habitats, along with how they help control insect populations and pollinate native plants.

Whether you’re already interested in bats or come in with some hesitation, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of these often misunderstood animals. Led by Hally Cokenias, co-founder of Arizona Bat Rescue.

As part of the Desert Foothills Land Trust’s mission to connect people and nature, DFLT sponsors two Speaker Series — ongoing free lecture programs designed to connect community members with the natural and cultural heritage of their Sonoran Desert home. These lectures provide accessible educational opportunities for everyone to deepen their understanding of this unique desert ecosystem. The Foothills Speaker Series is a joint initiative of DFLT and the Holland Center. Click here to see all this season’s events in the Foothills Speaker Series.
