We’ll be removing invasive vines from the tree cages near the Wood Duck vernal pool and possibly tackling Autumn Olive if we have time.

Additional information and directions to the site will be provided the week of work day. 20 volunteers needed – volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate.  Registration required. \nPlease note: Work days require physical activity\, which may be strenuous\, such as digging and sawing in weedy\, overgrown areas. Please be aware that poison ivy and ticks may present. Long sleeves and pants\, gardening gloves and insect repellant are recommended. Closed-toe footwear is required. If you do not enjoy working in these types of conditions\, you should seek out other volunteer opportunities. \nQuestions: Contact sferguson@loudounwildlife.org. \nRegistration is closed

SUMMARY:Date Change: The Bats of Loudoun: An Evening with Our Nocturnal Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join us at JK Black Oak for an unforgettable outdoor evening celebrating one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures. Local bat researcher and enthusiast Bruce Kimmel will take us on a journey through bat biology\, history\, and the fascinating world of echolocation — then we’ll take a short walk to a neighboring clearing to experience echolocation firsthand. As darkness falls after the 8:24 sunset\, we’ll gather with handheld acoustic monitors to listen for the ultrasonic calls of bats hunting overhead in real time. The talk draws on data from Loudoun’s own acoustic bat monitoring project\, uploaded to the National Acoustic Bat Monitoring (NABat) database\, giving us a rare window into which species are using our local landscape. JK Black Oak holds the special distinction as the only site in Loudoun known to consistently support the Northern Long-eared Bat\, a federally endangered species — making this sanctuary a critical refuge and this evening a unique opportunity to learn about a bat (and many others!) few people encounter. Whether you are a curious newcomer or a seasoned naturalist\, come listen to the night come alive. Directions will be emailed to registered participants. Limit 20. Registration required. \nQuestions: Contact info@loudounwildlife.org.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
