It's that time of year again!  "BATSTOCK 2014"
"BATSTOCK" is New Jersey's answer in The UNEP's INTERNATIONAL BAT NIGHT -a global event highlighting these fascinating animals celebrated worldwide.

Partnered with BAT CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL, EUROBATS and THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM, NJ's "Bat-Man" promises the best "BATSTOCK" to date!

Check out a few photos and highlights of this year's "BATSTOCK" events!


*Since 2006, millions of hibernating bats in the North East have died from a disease known as White-nose Syndrome (WNS), named for a cold-loving white fungus (Geomyces destructans -now known as Pseudogymnoascus destructans) typically found on the faces and wings of infected bats. WNS causes bats to awaken more often during hibernation and use up the stored fat reserves that are needed to get them through the winter. Infected bats often emerge too soon from hibernation and are seen flying around in midwinter. These bats usually freeze or starve to death. Proceeds collected from BATSTOCK will go to White Nose Syndrome research, local bat rehabbers and to bat conservation efforts.Thank you for your support!!
