Bat Week 2021

Bat Week is Oct. 24 - Oct. 31! This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate bats. Bats do a lot of things that help our natural areas be strong and healthy:

• Some bats eat insects that destroy crops and spread disease.
• Some bats pollinate plants, like agave.
• Bats help spread seeds to grow new plants.

Everybody can get in on the Bat Week fun. Visit BatWeek.org for a full list of inspiring Bat-ivities. Here's a few examples of what you'll find there.

• Show your bat appreciation on social media, using #BatWeek.
• Host a bat-centric party.
• Cook up a dish make possible by bats. (Pumpkin Chocolate Fudge sounds pretty good! And bats eat the insects that harm cacao plants.)
• Update your social media profile pic with the Bat Week twibbon.

Thanks for going to bat for bats this Bat Week!
