Giving Thanks

It’s Thanksgiving weekend at The Refuge and we’re taking stock of our blessings.

We are so lucky to be able to do this work and to share our lives with a community of like-minded people, who all help in their own way:

• Rescuers who take the time out of their busy lives to help a bat in distress.
• Volunteers who transport and help us care for these bats; they bring the love to The Refuge each and every day.
• Donors who provide the much-needed funding for tools and supplies.
• Supporters who root us on, both in person and through social channels, and who spread the word about the wonder of bats.
• Mentors who continue to share their knowledge and experience with us, and the opportunity to mentor others.
• The opportunity to contribute to current knowledge of bat ecology through our daily observations, and to share with our conservation colleagues in the scientific community.
• And the bats, who put their trust in us to do the right thing for them, patiently waiting until we figure out just what that might be.

The bats thank you all. They’re not much for saying so out loud, but we suspect that even the most curmudgeonly of them very much appreciate the loving care, until the day arrives that they can take care of themselves. They are our biggest blessing.

We are so grateful for all of these gifts.

Love,

Austin Bat Refuge
