Bat Hike at Golden Preserve in Springfield Township

Join Six Rivers and the Detroit Zoological Society for a free evening bat hike at the Golden Preserve in Springfield Township! We will use Echo Meters with our phones and iPads to monitor for bats. We will also keep an eye and an ear out for owls, frogs, and moths and discuss how scientists monitor various creatures of the night. If the skies are clear, we will do some stargazing as well. Parking is limited, so please call our office at 248-601-2816 or email info@sixriversrlc.org to register. We will try to minimize the use of flashlights to maintain our night vision, but you are welcome to bring your own flashlight.

Note: If you would like the opportunity to try out one of the Echo Meters with your own phone, download the Echo Meter Touch Bat Detector, Recorder & Analyzer App before the event.
