October Noon Time Talk: "All About Bats: The Good, The Bad and Ugly"
Posted on October 1, 2025 6:30 AM by Liz Fones-Wolf, Activities Committee
October is a scary time of the year especially around Halloween, which is associated with black cats, vampires, flying witches and bats. To many people bats have a bad reputation, evoking images of dark, scary caves and rabid blood-sucking creatures who spread rabies and other diseases. But is this really the case?
New Town resident and NTRA President Jack Espinal has long been intrigued by bats and has gained a deep understanding of one of the world’s most misunderstood creatures. Join us on Thursday, October 16 at the NTRA Meeting Room as he shares his expertise about the only flying mammal, which is critical to our environment and protects us from those pesky mosquitoes. And, please don’t worry; the talk will not be too scary.
Place: NTRA Meeting Room, 5118 Center St
Time: Thursday Oct.16 at 12:00
