Bat House Forum

[another eagle scout]

I'm a life scout trying to make eagle, and bat houses seemed a good project, but i can't for the life of me, find a way to mount it on a tree. Any help? Pictures would be great, along with some instruction.

You should use a dead tree, or one that has a long clear section of trunk. Bats won't use the house if there are branches that shade the house or branches near the bottom of the house which predators (owls, hawks) can sit on.
