Tukwila wants Bat Stewards:

Are you interested in taking it to the next level? Green Tukwila wants Bat Stewards, folks who report bat sightings over the summer. If you are interested in community science and supporting bats, this is an easy way to get data to the science community. We will talk more at the event!
