This week we celebrate Bat Week, an annual, international celebration of bats! Bats may have a spooky reputation but don’t believe the hype, believe the Bat Facts Bats benefit our ecosystem in so many ways—they pollinate our food, eat pesky insects, disperse seeds, and more—but they’ve earned some undeserved stereotypes in the process. Luckily, Bat Week and the U.S. Forest Service are here to debunk those myths! Check out our website for Bat Facts.
