Meet at the shelter. The full program is about 2 hours and covers a 2-mile paved loop with a steep incline. Participants have the option to return sooner as desired. The more than 222,000 Indiana bats that use the Lime Kiln Mine at the Sodalis Nature Preserve to hibernate over the winter migrate to their summer forest roosts in the spring. When exactly do they do that? It depends on several factors from outside air temperature, food supply, and the stirring in their little bodies that Spring is arriving and it’s time to find their summer forest homes. If it’s a warm night, we might see some bats flying out from one of the mine openings. Remember, while there’s a lot of bats in the mine, they don’t all come out at once and there’s 34 gated openings so it’s possible to see about 30-100 bats.
The program is free due to the sponsorship of Hannibal BASF.
