Join us on Sunday, January 4 at 1:00 pm at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau for a free screening of the bat documentary The Invisible Mammal hosted by DeKalb County University of Illinois Extension.

The Invisible Mammal tells the captivating story of a dedicated team as they strive to protect North America's bats against a deadly disease rapidly spreading across the continent. Filmmaker Kristin Tièche takes us on a thrilling journey as women bat scientists fight to save a species from the deadly white-nose syndrome (WNS). This film follows Project Fat Bat, a potential solution to help rebuild healthy bat populations across North America.

At once a nature film, a science film, and a character-driven adventure film, The Invisible Mammal will immerse you in the world of bats and forever change the way you feel about these amazing little creatures.
