Exploring the World of Bats, and How You Can Help!
April 15 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Besides adding diversity and flair to local wildlife, bats consume countless pest insects every night, but more than 50 percent of our native bats are now considered at risk. In a 7 p.m. Zoom program to be cosponsored by TCWP and the UT Arboretum Society on April 15, Erin Cord, Community Engagement Manager for Bat Conservation International, will discuss local bats, the threats they face, and how you can help them from the comfort of your own backyard.
Cord, who joined the Bat Conservation International staff in 2019, holds bachelor’s degrees in Wildlife Conservation and Entomology from the University of Delaware and received her MS in Wildlife Ecology from the Cesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. She has more than 10 years of experience working as a wildlife biologist and running environmentally focused volunteer, outreach, and education programs.
