Come to Ritchie Hall Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. to learn about different bat species in Alberta from the Wildlife Conservation Society of Canada. 

Cory Olson, program coordinator for the Alberta Community Bat Program will also tell us about bats found right here in Ritchie, how they help plants (including those in our gardens) and what residents can do to increase the local bat population. Following Cory’s presentation, we’ll walk to the ravine with bat detectors between 8 - 9 p.m.

This Keep Ritchie Green, Learn and Walk session is best for folks 12 and older. 

These monthly sessions are always free for Ritchie members and always include time for neighbours to share their ideas and expertise with each other. Upcoming sessions will address composting and rain harvesting. 

If you have a topic you would like featured, whether focussed on homes, yards, transportation or some other way of living “green”, or would like to lead a session, e-mail Carly, director of green initiatives: environment@ritchie-league.com.
