Did you know the Homestead is home to numerous bats? Join us for an evening program to learn more about the bats that live at the Daniel Boone Homestead.
Led by Dr. Karen Campbell, retired Albright College professor, this program will consist of a presentation inside the Wayside Lodge followed by a walk to search for bats as dusk falls. Bat boxes are located throughout the Homestead property and bats can often be spotted nesting and flying around the site. Bats are the only mammals able to fly and are more agile while flying than most birds. Dr. Campbell earned her PhD from Indiana University in Vertebrate Physiology and Zoology. She has done extensive bat research at eastern Pennsylvania parks and historic sites including Valley Forge, Hopewell Furnace, and the Berks County Heritage Center.
No admission is charged for this program. It will take place in the Wayside Lodge. Please no pets (except service animals) and no smoking. The event is funded and presented by The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.
