By james art BATON ROUGE – Learn about nature’s mysterious mammals at Bats and Brews at the Hilltop Arboretum on Tuesday evenings!
Educate yourself about the animals that can eat their entire body weight in bugs overnight while enjoying some fall-inspired brews from Rally Cap Brewing Co. and jambalaya for dinner.
Wild Birds Unlimited will also be selling bat merchandise on site, such as bat houses, books and some great bat hats.
“This is in honor of International Bat Week, October 24-31. The aim is to raise awareness of the importance of bats in our ecosystem,” said Head of Naturalists Catherine Gividen. “This is a bat house that I made and the bats come in from the bottom, you can put it on a pole or next to a building and it will take them a little while to find it, but once they move in you will have your own pest control in your house.
Bats and Brews will be held at the Arboretum from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
