Bat Ecology Workshop with the River Institue and OPG

July 17, 2025

Thursday, July 17, 8pm – 9:30pm
Saunders Hydro Dam Visitor Centre

Join the River Institute for a fascinating exploration into the world of bats! As a leader in bat research in eastern Ontario, Dr. Brian Hickey and his team have been studying Big Brown and Little Brown bats through fieldwork and data collection. In this engaging workshop, you’ll learn all about local bat species, their biology, and the River Institute’s ongoing research through a fun mix of presentations and hands-on activities. Discover how to monitor bats using detectors and mist nets, and learn how bat houses support conservation efforts. If possible, you might even get to see a live bat up close!
