The All About Bats Program at the Daniel Boone Homestead in Exeter Township has been rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 31.
The previously scheduled July 17 program was postponed due to hazardous air quality.
Daniel Boone Homestead is home to numerous bats. Join an evening program to learn more about the bats that live at the Homestead.
Led by Karen Campbell, retired Albright College professor, this program will consist of a presentation inside the Wayside Lodge followed by a walk to search for bats as dusk falls. Bat boxes are located throughout the Homestead property, and bats can often be spotted nesting and flying around the site.
Bats are the only mammals able to fly and are more agile while flying than most birds, according to the release.
Campbell earned her PhD from Indiana University in vertebrate physiology and zoology. She has done extensive bat research at eastern Pennsylvania parks and historic sites, including Valley Forge, Hopewell Furnace, and the Berks County Heritage Center.
No admission is charged for this program. No pets (except service animals) and no smoking.
The event is funded and presented by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.
The Daniel Boone Homestead is the birthplace of the famed frontiersman, born in 1734. The Boone House, constructed in three stages throughout the 18th century, is a 10-room stone structure fully furnished to the period and situated on 579 acres of rolling countryside. The Homestead is owned by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and daily historic operations are run by the nonprofit organization Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.
