The Stewardship group for Chicago's McKinley Park is sponsoring a series of Bat Walks this summer, on impromptu evenings.

Bat Walks monitor the bat population in McKinley Park using equipment loaned from the Lincoln Park Zoo . Participants walk around the park at dusk with sonar equipment and track local bats' movements: a useful contribution to science that offers more understanding of these mysterious animals.

All ages and abilities are welcome. Bat Walks take about an hour are ongoing through the summer. Send email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for information and to join.
