Here are pictures of eight new bat houses mounted in a city park in NW PA. It could not have been completed without the help of these young men and women.

Four holes had to be dug for the poles in different locations.

Having lots of help made the job much easier on a hot June day.

Everyone took turns with the tools.

The soil was hard sticky clay........not an easy job.

This hole had some big rocks but fortunately this guy was not afraid to get his hands dirty!

For as young as they were, I was suprised at how skilled these girls were with tools......

The extra help was really needed when we raised the poles. The 2 back to back mounted houses were fairly heavy.

The bat houses are 3 crevices with saw kerfed baffles of 3/4" pine boards. Hopefully these houses will get some occupancy sometime in the next year. Much thanks for the hard work by these guys and girls and to the City of Oil City PA for the willingness to complete this project!
