The Junior Gardeners event at Sky Nursery on October 2, 2011, is a unique educational opportunity for children to learn about bats, a vital part of the ecosystem. From 11 am to 12 pm, Barb Ogaard of Bats Northwest will lead a captivating slideshow presentation that highlights the importance of these often-misunderstood creatures. Attendees will also have the chance to observe live bats, providing an engaging and interactive experience that fosters a love for wildlife. The event is free, but participants are encouraged to make donations to Bats Northwest to support their conservation initiatives. With a maximum capacity of 50 participants, early RSVP is essential to secure a spot.

This event not only promotes environmental education but also strengthens community ties through shared learning experiences. By focusing on bats, the event aims to dispel myths and raise awareness about the ecological roles these animals play. This initiative underlines the significance of engaging youth in wildlife conservation efforts and community activities.
