Would you like to know more about the creatures that fly past you at night? The Mines of Spain State Recreation Area and the Friends of the Mines of Spain would like to invite the public to attend an intriguing program on the bats of the Midwest and around the world. This program will include various topics such as the typical diet of a North American bat, the species that we can find here in the tristate area, research about bats around the world, how they are beneficial to humans, and what types of diseases bat populations are facing today. The program will be presented by professors Jeff Huebschman, of University Wisconsin Platteville, and Gerald Zuercher, of University of Dubuque, who have experience in bat research.
