6th Annual River Run Network Bat Night

We look forward to sharing the beauty of our local creeks with you. This event will be outside and, while we try to minimize rough terrain, you will be walking across sandy, rocky, and possibly wet soils and navigating through riparian environments. Please wear appropriate shoes and clothing for hiking outdoors, we will be walking in the creek, and you may get your feet wet if the creek is flowing. Also, please arrive on time as we will start our creek walk after a short introduction and we don't want you to get left behind. If you are unable to attend an event for any reason, please respond to this email to cancel your registration to allow for others on the waitlist to attend.

Join the River Run Network for an evening in the Rillito River to experience the bats taking flight! At this free, family friendly event, you'll get to explore Tucson Village Farm's "Little Farm" through fun activities, hear from bat expert Debbie Buecher, and then we will head into the creek just in time to see the bats head out for the night.

Our rivers are important spaces for our nocturnal friends, they are not only in search of insects, but they are pollinating native plants and in search of water. Come expereince the magic of their group flight with us and learn about how they are connected to our creeks and rivers.

This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). The RRN is a program that honors the heritage of our rivers and the value that water holds for the peoples of Southern Arizona. We acknowledge the indigenous communities that have respected and stewarded our rivers for thousands of years and the Pascua Yaqui, Tohono O’odham, and Latino communities that continue to steward the rivers today. Members work together to learn about and steward our rivers through creek walks, restoration activities, river clean-ups, and educational workshops. If you are not yet a member, we will add you to the RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
