Girl Scouts LOVE: Bats in the Forest

3025 New Holland Road, Reading, PA 19607

Calling all Girl Scouts! Celebrate Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend with this special program for you and your family. Join our friends from PA bat rescure for this family program about our favorite flying mammals - the bat!

Did you know there are 9 species of bat in PA and almost all of them live in the Nolde Forest? And that bat populations are rapidly declining? What does that mean for humans? How do you care for an injured bat? And how do you get a job as a bat rehabber? 

Join us at this indoor program where we talk about these facts and more with park staff and licensed bat rehabbers. Weather permitting, we might even see some newly rehabbed bats get released back into the night sky.

This program will be primarily held indoors so it will be held rain or shine (however we will cancel for dangerous storms). For the comfort of our special guests, we ask that everyone wear a mask for this special event. Spaces are very limited, so please be sure to register by clicking the green button to secure your spot!

Scouts working on the Night Owl badge are encouraged to stay for our second activity of the night - a night hike - happening after this program. Please sign up for that event separately here.
