ATTRACTING BATS TO YOUR BACKYARD: HOW AND WHY TO DO IT Please join us at the Savage Library on Wednesday, October 4, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. when Master Gardener Lisa Wingate presents "Attracting Bats to Your Backyard: How and Why to Do It". While bats may have negative myths about them, they are actually our nocturnal friends. Not only are they pollinators, bats eat insects making them a large part of natural pest control. In this presentation, Ms. Wingate will dispel some of the negative myths and explore the reasons why you might wish to attract bats into your yard. Their preferred habitats, houses, and plants to help lure and keep them in your garden will be discussed. Registration for the presentation is through the Savage Library on-line at http://www.hclibrary.org or with the Staff on 410-313-0760. The Savage Library is located at 9525 Durness Lane, Laurel, MD 20723.
