You may have noticed two exciting new additions to the pool this season — a bat box and a pollinator garden. Both were created as part of Megan Davison’s Girl Scout project, and now she’s inviting Laurelwood families to come learn more through a fun, hands‑on free event for kids ages 4–12.

Session Dates

June 18 at 4:30 PM
June 26 at 12:15 PM

Each session includes a read‑aloud, a bat‑themed craft, snack, and a take‑home pot with seeds so kids can start their own mini pollinator garden at home. They’ll also paint rocks that will become part of the permanent pollinator garden at the pool, letting them leave their mark on a space the whole community will enjoy.

Why Bats Matter

Bats are incredible helpers in our environment. They eat huge numbers of insects — especially mosquitoes — with a single bat able to eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in an hour. By giving bats a safe place to roost in the new bat box, we support local wildlife and help keep mosquito levels down around the pool.

Space is limited so advance registration is encouraged. This is not a drop off event. Make it a day at Laurelwood!
