We engage communities of all ages in learning about bats and the natural world, inspiring curiosity, stewardship, and action for conservation. We host the Ohio Bat Fest which brings together hundreds of families each year to explore bat ecology and see conservation in action. Through interactive, research-informed programs, we help learners investigate bats like scientists, fostering curiosity, appreciation, and conservation-minded thinking.

Beyond education, we aim to provide tools and resources that help people experience and appreciate bats in their own backyards—showing how humans and wildlife can coexist. By combining research, outreach, and innovation, we aim to create a community that not only understands bats but actively participates in protecting them.
