Do you hate mosquitos? If so, then you should love bats!

Bats help keep insect populations under control and are an integral component of a healthy ecosystem. They are also important pollinators and support biodiversity.

Join naturalist, Josh DiPaola, for a family-friendly 1-mile twilight walk around Swan Lake in search of these elusive and misunderstood creatures. Learn how they contribute to the environment, threats compromising their populations, and how to safely facilitate their habitat.

Meet in the Visitor Center courtyard.

Please bring water to drink and wear comfortable closed-toed shoes.

In case of bad weather, the program may be canceled or postponed; you will be notified via email by noon day of.

Rockefeller State Park Preserve

Rockefeller State Park Preserve was created through several farsighted and generous gifts to the State of New York by the Rockefeller Family since 1983. It is designated as a “park-preserve” to highlight and protect its natural, historical, and cultural values. Its network of carriage trails wind through scenic forests, fields, and wetlands, which provide important habitat for native plants and wildlife. 

The Preserve Office and Gallery are open daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and are located at 125 Phelps Way, Pleasantville, N.Y. 10570.
