Westboro Beach Bat Houses: Beneficial Habitats for Mosquito Control and Pollination

 In cooperation with the Kich Sibi Winter Trail and the NCC, a shared project has been started to build habitat for bats in our neighbourhood.    Not only do bats eat mosquitoes and other annoying bugs but they are essential pollinators and a critical part of our natural environment.     

 Bat houses have now been installed on the south facing wall of the storage containers where the snow grooming equipment is kept.     

Fingers crossed that this refuge is spotted by our furry friends and these creatures consider the Westboro Beach area home during the summer months.

For more information, please contact Dave Adams, Manager of the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail (manager@wintertrail.ca)

We are batty for these bat houses!

Our new neighbour…hopefully!
