Bats and Bluegrass has long been IRWP’s signature celebration—a uniquely Ozark event where conservation meets culture. For years, it brought our community together to experience the magic of a special summer evening of education, live music, and the stunning natural phenomenon of bat emergence. Come explore IRWP and their partners. Stop by the BHA booth and say hello.
