Bat Walk at the Ridgewood Reservoir

Join naturalist Gabriel Willow to observe and learn about bats at the Ridgewood Reservoir. There are over 1,400 species of these winged mammals worldwide. Come discover which ones live at the Reservoir as well as learn about other nocturnal animals.

The Ridgewood Reservoir, nestled in Highland Park, is a 50+ acre ecological oasis that was once a high quality water supply built by the independent City of Brooklyn in 1858. Since decommissioning, nature took its course in a perfect case study of ecological succession!
