Build a Bat Box Program

Saturday, March 11 Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge invites you to the Refuge for our Build a Bat Box Program. Join us from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm to learn about bat life history and field survey methods and equipment. After the presentation join refuge staff and volunteers to build a bat box. Learn how to attract these beneficial insect-eating creatures to your own backyard!  

Registration for the Build a Bat Box Program is required as there is a limited amount of bat boxes available. Please call the refuge office at 608-539-2311 x1 to reserve a space. Supplies to build the bat box will be provided. Participants will be building bat boxes to take home with them that day.
