Our traditional collaborators and dear guests that will help us mark this important date for nature protection are the Zagreb ZOO, Maksimir Park Public Institution, Croatian Biospeleological Society, Zagreb Station of the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, and the association Tragus. This year as well, they will present their work on bat research and protection. They will also help all of us learn more about bat nutrition and flight, the usefulness of bats in nature, threats that they face, and many other bat-related topics. Those who grow fond of our cute bats of Veternica will also be able to adopt them.

10 a.m. – 5 p.m. – educational bat workshops and open-air presentations in front of the Glavica mountain lodge (face painting, collage, painting, drawing, quiz games, cave equipment, bat detector, etc.)
