Description

NIGHT HIKE! Join Central Chapter members for a night time hike to find bats at Marian University’s Nina Mason Pulliam Ecolab. Bats only come out after sunset. That is why this hike will start at 8:30 PM on July 29th. There will be a short presentation on bats prior to the start of the hike. The EcoLab’s wetlands transform into a bat paradise in the summer time. Ecolab Restoration Ecologist, Sarah Downing, will guide you to discover more about these flying mammals and other nocturnal animals. You can also try your hand at special technology that can identify bats through their echolocation. We will be walking around the pond. This is an easy hike. There is a small staircase. Boots are suggested, as are long sleeves or bug spray. Parking is available in the small gravel lot by the pond. There is signage at 3200 Cold Springs Rd. for EcoLab with arrows pointing where to turn. There is also available parking across the street at the Major Taylor Velodrome’s large parking lot. It is a short walk from there to the EcoLab gate. 3200 Cold Spring Rd. Indianapolis, IN, 46222. Registration required and limited to 25 members.
