You might as well know right off the bat that this is the penultimate session

The penultimate session of the municipal initiative "Ambiente em Família" ["Family and the Environment", free translation], takes place on 27 September at the CEA - Environmental Education Centre, at the City Park, at 7pm (entrance by Beco de Carreiras), guided by Luzia Sousa from the Rectory of Porto University.

This session is all about bats and dispelling myths about this nocturnal flying mammals, whilst learning about their living habits. Bats are the only mammals capable of flying like birds.

Nature provides children and adults alike with enriching experiences, by experiencing the great outdoors and thus profiting from an array of social, educational and planetary benefits.

There are 27 bat species in Portugal, all insectivorous, and eight of those are endangered species. Bats usually communicate with each other through high frequency chirps, screeches, and songs, which they use to hunt.

This session is participation free, but subject to availability. Registration is required till 4 pm on the day of the session via dm.gestaoambiental@cm-porto.pt
