Bat Chat

Ticket sales for this event have officially closed as of 01/23/2026 while we prep bat kits over the weekend. If you’d like to check whether any kits are still available, please email Sarah at sarah.schroeder@macd.org. Please be patient if you do not get an immediate response.

Purchase of a ticket is not necessary to attend the workshop without making a bat house.

When the library lights go down, the bats come out! Spoooooky!

Join the Kalkaska Conservation District in partnership with the Kalkaska County Library for an after-hours workshop all about Michigan’s bats. Enjoy a short bat talk, then craft your own bat house to take home and help local wildlife.
