    Friends from the Field: Bats of Maine

    January 30, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm


    Join BHHT and IHT and guest speaker Cassandra Knudsen for our next Friends From the Field Webinar: Bats of Maine!
     
    Popular culture has painted bats as the spooky tenants of haunted houses and frightening carriers of disease. But despite what you might have heard, bats are one of humanity’s most critical allies in the animal kingdom — and now, more than ever, they need our help.
     
    Cassandra Knudsen is a Maine Master Naturalist. Ever since she was a child, she’s had a strong enthusiasm for all living things, but it wasn’t until performing research as the Interpretive Specialist at Baxter State Park that her love of bats truly took flight.
