6th Annual River Run Network Bat Night

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 experience 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.
