October Kids' Nature Class - Bats, Bats and More Bats!

  • 375 Riverside Dr. Bastrop, TX 78602 (map)

Join us October 12th at the Colorado River Refuge/Bastrop County Nature Park for a morning outdoors learning about bats - echolocation, their habitats, migration, and more about these incredible night-flying mammals. There will be a lesson geared towards ages 6-15 (split by age group), as well as a hike or activity lead by our wonderful Lost Pines Master Naturalist Volunteers.

To celebrate Bat Week, which is later in October, consider printing, coloring (or creating your own), and wear the bat masks linked below!

Logistics:

Please wear close-toed shoes and bring water.

We are meeting at the outdoor classroom: 375 Riverside Dr, Bastrop, TX 78602.

Please arrive by 9:50 so we can begin promptly at 10:00. Classes go until approximately 12:00.

Please sign in when you arrive (Sign-in sheet includes liability waiver and photo release).

Due to a limited number of teacher volunteers, we are currently unable to offer classes more than once a month. If we are able to recruit more teachers, we will update you. As a guideline, classes are taught at a 6 yo and older level.

The health of you, your children and our teachers are of the utmost importance to us. Masks are now optional, but please respect everyone’s choice. If you, your children or anyone you have been in contact with has felt ill please stay home. If circumstances change considerably before the class we may update our protocol.


Because these classes are offered FREE to the community, please consider making a donation to Pines and Prairies Land Trust to support programs and stewardship of the Colorado River Refuge!


If our student limit has been reached, you’ll be placed on a waiting list and notified if any spots reopen
