Celebrate Bat Week with Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance, the UW Bat Brigade, and Dane County Parks in this Bat Box Construction Class!
Bats are an incredibly important group of species and have faced serious declines due to habitat loss, reduced food availability, and white-nose syndrome. But you can help change that! At this Bat Box Construction Class, you will learn about bat life history and biology from UW-Madison graduate student and UW Bat Brigade member Makeela Magomolla, then watch a demonstration on how to build a maternity bat box (the type of box most helpful for bat conservation) by Bat Ambassador John Davies, and take home construction plans and knowledge to support bats near you.
There will be one maternity bat box constructed by an instructor during the workshop. Attendees will not build their own workshop during this event. You will be able to watch, ask questions, get insider’s tips, and be inspired. The box will be donated to Dane County Parks to be installed at one of their properties.
Individuals who would like to build a bat box after this event are welcome to donate the boxes to Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance or Dane County Parks!
