Come be a community scientist!

BATS NW and Woodland Park Zoo are teaming up to capture bat information at Green Lake in Seattle, WA.

We will be conducting research, recordings and data collection using a standardized protocol and form that provide us and zoo researchers with invaluable species-specific information about where bats are and aren’t living in the city.

Registration is required for this event, and will be available June 25, 2026 @ 8AM.

The sun sets around 8:55PM so hopefully the Green Lake sky will have some bats flying above us. Look for volunteers at the Seattle Public Theater Bath house near Green Lake’s or our Bats Northwest signage and table just northwest of the Bathhouse (this program lasts 1.5-2 hours depending on the weather and the bats).

Please bring your own chairs, if you would like to sit during the event.

(Events cancel when it is raining hard.)
