Project EduBat Educational Trunk

There is an urgent need to educate the public about the ecological and economic importance of bats, as well as the threat that White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) poses. Environmental education is a critical piece of building support for ongoing WNS research and management, and to build a strong network of citizens that are interested in becoming a part of the solution. Our educational trunks are designed to help educators explore the wonders of bats with students of all ages through fun, hands-on activities. Contact one of our EduBat Hosts (listed below) to borrow a bat trunk today. If there is no host in your state, just contact the closest person. There is no charge for using our bat trunks, EXCEPT for shipping costs.

Want to make your own bat trunk? CLICK HERE for a list of all the supplies contained in our Project EduBat Trunks.
