SCT program set for Tues. Southern Conservation Trust is hosting a Nature Discovery Program on bats Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Flat Creek Nature Center in Peachtree City. Clayton State University biology professor Dr. Stephen Burnett will describe bats’ importance to our gardens and our enjoyment of the outdoors. Find out why and how we can protect them and their habitat. “You may want to install a bat box after you see a live bat and hear Dr. Burnett dispel some myths about these fascinating mammals,” said Abby Jordan, SCT’s executive director. SCT is hosting a series of Nature Discovery programs for families at the Flat Creek Nature Center throughout 2004. Recent program topics have included snakes, birding, and using native plants. Upcoming events will feature live owls and other birds of prey, bees, and geology. SCT is a nonprofit land trust based in Peachtree City that owns and manages over 600 acres of nature preserves in Fayette County. SCT partners with community groups to enhance its nature preserves with trails. SCT also works with willing landowners to help protect scenic open space through tools that may provide tax advantages for the landowner. The bat program will be held at the Flat Creek Nature Center, adjacent to the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater at 201 McIntosh Trail in Peachtree City. It is free and appropriate for all ages. For directions or more information on this and upcoming SCT community events, contact Abby Jordan at 770-486-7774 or a.jordan@sctlandtrust.org.
