Kick off our reintroduced Wild Home Series by crafting a specialized sanctuary for one of nature’s most essential – and most misunderstood – nocturnal allies. In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll master multi-chamber construction techniques while building a home that could shelter up to 100 bats. Learn precise temperature control methods, proper ventilation, and optimal placement strategies that make your bat house irresistible to these incredible insect-eating machines. A single bat can consume over 1,000 mosquitoes per night – your garden will thank you. Sign up for all three Wild Home workshops and save 15%. All materials, tools, and expert guidance provided. Perfect for all skill levels.
