Wild Talk: Bat Pollinators in Texas and Worldwide

Join us for an evening of Tuttle Tales devoted to the storytelling and conservation work of Dr. Merlin Tuttle, founder of Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation (MTBC). Merlin’s unique photography and communication first led to global appreciation of bats as safe, invaluable, even cute, and likable. Importantly, he will share how bat pollinators benefit humans, save billions in annual agricultural losses, and protect the health of the ecosystem, wildlife, and especially other pollinators! Merlin’s legendary photos and experience provide invaluable guidance and inspiration that must be preserved and shared for future generations.

Tickets for this event include:

  • a fun and interesting seminar presented by a world renowned ecologist and conservationist,

  • light snack options,

  • one Desert Door cocktail, and

  • a native Texas seed give away.
