Join us as we enjoy the music of the night creatures in the garden under the full moon.  Using a “bat detector,” which lowers the pitch of bat calls, we will be able to hear the bats and learn the different patterns of each species’ calls.  We’ll also listen to frogs and insects that sing at night.

We’ll meet in the lobby of the visitor center and have a short photo presentation to get acquainted with the bats of the Rockford area. Then we’ll go out to sit on the pond deck to watch and listen for bats and anything else that’s active.

The programs will be canceled in the event of inclement weather. Overcast skies are fine for the bats, but rain, strong winds, and unusually cold temperatures will prevent both bats and participants from being outside.

Payment must accompany registration.  Refunds for classes registered through Anderson Japanese Gardens will be issued if the participant cancels at least five days prior to the class date.  Anderson Japanese Gardens reserves the right to cancel events in which case, a refund will be issued.
