The 16th Annual Celebration for the Bats!

Saturday, July 18, 2026 Help Gerri Griswold celebrate over three decades crusading for Bats, our planet’s most extraordinary creature! Our festivities begin with bat-themed cupcakes and lemonade in the Activity Shed and a bat chat with Gerri Griswold in the A. B. Ceder Room. Learn about our BAT’S COUNT! Bat Cam project in partnership with the CT DEEP! Then, as darkness sets in, we’ll count our bat colony as it emerges from the Green Barn! There will be music too because our bats deserve to be serenaded! 7:00 p.m. FREE but you MUST pre-register here: Celebration for the Bats Registration A suggested donation of $5.00 per person would be greatly appreciated to help defray the Conservation Center’s programming expenses.
