This free online program, which will be from 3-4 p.m., is being put on by the staff of MDC’s Springfield Conservation Nature Center. This program is open to all ages. People can register at:
At this event, MDC Naturalist J.D. Kennedy will discuss cave habitats and what happens in a Missouri cave during spring. He will talk about how spring is the time bats emerge from caves. He will also have fun facts about other animals that utilize caves throughout the year.
Though this program is free, registration is required. Register by using the link above. Registrants must provide an e-mail, so a program link can be sent to them. This program will include a chat-based question-and-answer period when participants can interact with the presenters.
