"It's in celebration of International Bat Week, October 24 through 31. It's to raise awareness of the importance of bats in our ecosystem," master naturalist leader Katherine Gividen said. "This is a bat house that I made and the bats come in from the bottom you can put it on a pole or alongside a building and it will take a little while for them to find it but once they move in you'll have your own pest control at your house.
Bats and Brews will be held at the arboretum from 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m.
