July 2011: OBC's 10th Annual Bat Festival

The Organization for Bat Conservation is hosting the Great Lakes Bat Festival again this year! If you'll be in Michigan it's a great family event, or just something fun to do on your own!

Here's a teaser of one of our bats:
This is Kamilah one of our two Malayan Flying Foxes. Come join the fun!

Event: 10th Annual Great Lakes Bat Festival
Event Date: July 9, 2011
Location: Cranbrook Institute of Science
Presented by: Organization for Bat Conservation
Cost: The event is for all ages and free with museum admission.


The festival celebrates the unique role of bats in our ecosystem as nature's cross pollinators and insect eaters, while dispelling myths and misinformation that generate needless fears and threaten bats and their habitats around the world. The goal of the festival is to encourage the public to understand and protect the environment and educate the public about the devastating consequences for natural ecosystems and human economies should bat populations continue to decline around the world.
