SAVE LUCY THE BAT
I have always had a fascination for bats. In the past my students have researched them, read about them, and spread the word to their friends and family that bats are more helpful than they are harmful. With the age of technology, I decided to try to Skype with an organization devoted to these furry little mammals. My intent was to educate my students on this fascinating creature. That is how I stumbled on the Save Lucy the Bat Project.
The Save Lucy website is designed to allow children to explore bats and conservation by reading Lucy’s Story, then joining Lucy’s Club, where young users earn points by completing various conservation projects. We will skype tomorrow with Leslie Sturgis president of this organization to learn about Lucy and other North American Brown Bats that are dying due to a fungus called White Nose Syndrome
Did you know that:
Forty percent of bat species in the United States are endangered or at risk and more than 5.7 million bats have recently died from white-nose syndrome. Bats are in grave danger from white-nose syndrome and the National Park Service is helping to protect these important mammals.
This blog will showcase our learning journey and what we are doing to help with wildlife conservation for North American Brown Bats. Stay Tuned to learn and discover what you can do to help Save Lucy the Bat
