## About

A drop-in table at Brecksville Nature Center for learning about Ohio's bats in the week before Halloween. Families can stop by any time between 1 and 3 p.m. to hear facts from a naturalist about why bats are beneficial and often misunderstood, and children can make a bat craft to take home. No set start time, so it suits short attention spans; combine it with a walk on the trails around the nature center.
