Halloween is just around the corner, so you know what that means... it’s officially #BatWeek! 🦇 Bats are some of the most amazing and important creatures in our ecosystems. From pollinating plants to keeping pesky insect populations in check, these nocturnal wildlife play a vital role in nature. Join us in celebrating Bat Week by learning more about how we can protect bats and their habitats. Whether visiting a national park or enjoying the great outdoors at home, remember to #RecreateResponsibly and give our winged friends the space they need to thrive. #Bats #NatureLovers #WildlifeWonder #EcoHeroes #SpookySzn #Halloween #SpookySeason #NPS #SpookySunday #NationalParks #JoshuaTree #California 📸: NationalParkService Image: California leaf-nosed bats fly out of a gray rock cave entrance in JoshuaTreeNPS
