Visit the Phoenix Bat Cave

The Metro Phoenix EcoFlora project is making plant science meaningful and open for everyone, while we learn about the biodiversity of our urban desert home. We need your help! A rare plant in a park? A sleeping bobcat in the backyard? What else could be out there? Let’s find out! Using iNaturalist, a free app that can identify plants and animals, you can help document urban biodiversity. Join the Metro Phoenix EcoFlora project to study plants and wildlife in metro Phoenix. Plus, enjoy events, rewards, EcoQuest challenges and more.

Phoenix Bat Cave

Did you know there&#x27;s a bat cave right in metro Phoenix? Okay, it&#x27;s more of a tunnel, but there are bats! Join <a href="https://dbg.org/ecoflora/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Metro Phoenix EcoFlora</a> for an evening of bat viewing in coordination with our <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/the-night-shift" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">June EcoQuest: The Night Shift</a>, which is exploring the world of nocturnal pollinators.Parking: There is no designated parking for the bat cave. Parking is very limited in the area; please respect private property and restricted areas. You may need to park south of the intersection at 40th Street and Camelback.Where to meet: Getting there can be a little tricky. There is a location saved on Google Maps labeled &quot;<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/crc6V1kwPixFscVj8" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Phoenix Bat Cave</a>.&quot; The path to the tunnel is located on the north side of the Arizona Canal. Look for Chelsea&#x27;s Kitchen at the beginning of the path. Walk west on the path about 200 yards (past buildings and parking garage). You will see the flood control channel just north of the canal. Head north about 20 feet from the gravel path to the paved path. The paved path will take you to the top of the tunnel (you&#x27;ll see bat-watching information signs posted here). Look for someone in an orange Metro Phoenix EcoFlora shirt!What to bring: Water, flashlight or headlamp, appropriate clothing and footwear.Because the bat viewing area can be crowded, we will follow CDC recommended guidelines for mask wearing and social distancing. Waivers will be emailed to all registrants, please fill out and bring with you, or email to ecofloraphx@dbg.org.Contact: Should you have any questions the day of the event, please email ecofloraphx@dbg.org.
