BRN is truly excited to partner with some wonderful local organizations to distribute 100 take-home youth bat activity kits to be distributed through the Patagonia Youth Enrichment Center Food Distribution Services, which is currently providing more than 450 meals per week to Patagonia youth and families. Kits include art projects, a bat mask, stickers, a bat activity book, and some agave seed pellets with instructions on how to plant them to help feed bats! Special thank you to Patagonia Creative Arts Association for the donation of art supplies! Make sure to post pictures of yourself in your bat masks, tag BRN, and hashtag it #welovebats and #batappreciationday ! For our friends far and wide, you can visit our virtual Bat Activity Kit to take part no matter where you are! |
As part of our Bat Appreciation Day activities, join us for a Facebook LIVE about the important and fascinating relationship between bats and agaves.
Meet some baby agaves grown by BRN to support two of our most important bat species in the borderland region, the Mexican Long-tongued bat, and the Lesser Long-nosed bat. Learn about our agave programming at the nursery with Bat Conservation International, and our programming in Nuevo León, and Sonora, Mexico. Join us for this fun, free, and educational Facebook Live lead by our Native Plant Material duo, Francesca Claverie, Native Plant Program Manager, and Perin McNelis, Assistant Manager, Native Plant Program.

You can't have Bacanora without agave. And, it's difficult to have agaves without bats!
Join two of our brilliant and beloved BRN team members, ethnobotanist Dr. Gary Nabhan and ecologist Dr. Ron Pulliam at the Huachuca agave (Agave parryi var. huachucensis) patch at the Borderlands Wildlife Preserve for a FB Live about the overlapping paths of agaves, bats, and people in this special part of the world. We treasure any time with these great minds, and know you will too! Pour yourself a glass of Bacanora and join Ron, and Gary in a toast to bats! Did you miss our live stream? You can view it here! |
