Included in the Spoleto d’Estate 2019 programme, following the success of last years, the experience of the Bat Night at Monteluco is back on Friday, September 6, a day dedicated to bats and celebrated throughout Europe.

The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Monteluco and the City of Spoleto in collaboration with Hyla Nature Studio, was created to raise awareness about the only mammals capable of flying.

Participants will meet in the meadows of Monteluco at 6 pm.
Several activities will begin and continue until 8 pm: construction of bat boxes, small shelters for bats, a workshop for children with toy bats, excursion to the Sacred Forest to discover the treasures of Natura 2000, visit to the exhibition on bats and monitoring of bats in bat boxes.

From 8.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. Dinner with fixed-price menu (euro 18).

Following the convivial moment, after the greetings from the Councillor for the Environment Maria Rita Zengoni, the night excursion will begin.
The monitoring and recognition techniques illustrated in the afternoon will be put into practice: a bat-detector will be used to listen to ultrasounds emitted by bats, bats will be captured and released using a mist-net, individual species will be identified and their biology and habits will be illustrated.
