Events for Saturday, December 10th, 2011

There's lotsa great stuff happening this weekend! First off, if you feel like getting up at 6 AM on Saturday morning, you will be able to see the total lunar eclipse. That is as long as we have clear skies.
After you're fully awake, you can head over to Odlin Park at 10 AM for a work party. Not sure exactly what we'll be doing yet, it will be along the lines of trail work, revegetation of the new campground, site maintenance, etc. You'll also get a chance to check out the new campgrounds. So, Odlin Park from 10 AM- 2 PM. We'll have snacks and warm beverages, but bring a lunch and wear weather-appriopriate clothing.
Next on the agenda: afternoon break. Then, head to the library from 4:30-6 PM to learn about local bats. The talk will be an intro session, and in January there will be opportunities to build bat boxes. This event is headed by Liz Needham, Kwiaht's Bat Survey Coordinator. Here's what she says:
"Curious about local bats? Then this is for you! This meeting is for anyone interested in bats, especially if you are interested in building a bat house, installing a bat house, or are willing to help others build and restore local bat roosts. Have fun and enjoy free refreshments while engaging in a worthy cause!"
Then off to dinner and feel good about a day well spent!
