Educational
Event presence:
In person
"Urban bats : Neris Riverside Bat Walk" is a small educational event dedicated to bat observation in urban areas. Oftentimes bats are associated with dark forests, old parks or caves, however, some bats can also thrive in cities and live much closer to us than we often imagine. In order to find out if this is true, we invite local people to take a walk along Neris riverside at the heart of Vilnus after the sunset and look up. Using bat detectors, we will examine the species that migrate along the river - an important landmark for migrating bats. In addition, people will be presented with many interesting facts about these unique mammals and their importance to our life.
