Bats are our Garden's Best Friends - Guest Speaker Francine Spears introduces us to her pet bat in connection with her excellent presentation on the important role played by bats in California and the rest of the world. Ms. Spears' pet has been with her for 13 years and can be expected to live another 19 years. Pollination is just one of the many tasks assigned by nature to bats.Click here to add text.
