This is gonna be a big one!

A large colony of bats have been at home in the Tranquility United Methodist Church attic for decades. Following severe storm damages over the past 5 years, the Church is in need of major renovations.

Come celebrate the history of this Church and its bats, learn about the vital role bats play in our communities, and witness the nightly emergence of this mega-colony at dusk! CWF's bat biologist, MacKenzie Hall, will lead the program and bat watch.

Tickets to this fundraising event are $20 per person (children under 12 are $5). Proceeds will help the Tranquility United Methodist Church to repair their building in a bat-friendly way, and will also benefit the local Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary. To reserve your spot, you can purchase tickets online or call Antler Ridge at 973-800-2420.

Bats are some of the most beneficial animals to people, but they aren't always welcome under the same roof with us. Many, many bat colonies are evicted from buildings every year in NJ. Those bats are left homeless until they can find another nearby nook to call home.

Bat houses save the day! By partnering with Scouts, we can provide free bat houses to homeowners when a bat eviction is planned. The bats get a safe place to live and raise their young, and homeowners get to keep their backyard bug-eaters in business.

For this workshop, local Eagle Scout candidate Joe Cermenaro is supplying all the materials to construct 10 bat houses. Builders are needed! This is a great family-fun event for a bat-friendly cause. The finished bat houses will be donated to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation to install at eviction sites. **One bat house will be raffled off among the participants!**

Please register HERE via Duke Farms. Bring your own cordless screw gun if you can.

Often stereotyped as sinister and dangerous, bats are among the most beneficial animals for humans! They provide free pest control (a little brown bat can eat 3,000 insects a night) and indirectly help our health, agriculture, and water quality.

Today many of New Jersey’s bats are struggling to survive. Fifteen years ago a fungus attacked hibernating bats, leading to a disease known as white-nose syndrome. The disease disrupts hibernation, causing bats to use up their vital energy needed to survive the winter.

Join Conserve Wildlife Foundation biologist Ethan Gilardi on a lively Zoom talk exploring common myths and misconceptions about bats, spotlighting the current threats to New Jersey’s bats, and discussing what you can do to help them.
