πŸ¦‡ Bat House Workshop: Wild Home Series


  • Sawdust Studios 3150 Paris Road Columbia, MO, 65202 United States (map)

Join us for the final installment of our Wild Home Series, where you'll craft a sophisticated sanctuary for these vital nocturnal allies. This 2-hour workshop combines precise woodworking with essential conservation, creating a home that supports local bat populations while enhancing your garden's natural pest control.

What You'll Make 🏠

Transform select hardwoods into a multi-chamber bat house designed to host dozens of bats. You'll craft a precisely engineered structure featuring specialized roosting chambers, carefully calibrated ventilation, and specific temperature control features. Each detail is thoughtfully designed to create the perfect environment for maternal bat colonies.

What You'll Learn πŸ”¨

  • Multi-chamber construction techniques

  • Temperature regulation principles

  • Proper ventilation methods

  • Essential surface treatment techniques

  • Bat biology and habitat requirements

Why Bats? πŸŒ™ Bats are essential yet often misunderstood allies in our ecosystem. A single bat can consume over 1,000 insects nightly, providing natural pest control for gardens and farms. As development reduces natural roosting sites, your handcrafted house becomes vital conservation infrastructure, supporting local bat populations while helping control mosquitoes and agricultural pests naturally.
