🦇Terra Nova is celebrating Bat Week! 🦇Bat Week is an international, annual celebration designed to raise awareness about the need for bat conservation. Bats are amazing creatures that are vital to the health of our natural world and economy. Although we may not always see them, bats are hard at work all around the world each night - eating tons of insects🦟, pollinating flowers🌺, and spreading seeds that grow new plants and trees 🌱.
We are proud to share that our partnership with Legacy 2 Inspire (mobile woodshop) is teaching students how to build bat houses to go up on our campus! ⛺

There's a very special light show event happening this evening across the northern part of the US - which includes us! The northern lights are created when energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere, and our planet's protective magnetic field deflects them like a shield. This colorful collision results in spectacular nighttime dancing lights.
