🦇We're so excited to celebrate by unveiling our Bat Ambassador Training that is free, online, and open to all!
Swoop in to discover fun bat facts that will impress your friends. Link in comments. 👇

A Bat Ambassador is simply someone who loves bats and helps to foster a wider appreciation for them. Bat Ambassadors talk with friends, family, neighbors, and others, sharing information about how amazing bats are and the many ways we can support and protect them. As a Bat Ambassador, you’ll also be eligible to take additional courses to learn new Bat Skills like leading Bat Walks and planting Bat Gardens (coming soon!)
