The Ohio University Sustainable Living Hub has added housing to its project list students are putting up six bat dwellings around campus throughout the next few weeks. The structures will provide a safe spot for bats to take shelter in. Many people may be afraid of bats, especially when they find their way into your home or dorm, but they are only just little things who are looking for a warm place to perch, and I just love them, said Mikayla Schuyler, an OHIO student who is in OHIO s Climate and Sustainability Ambassadors club and the Green Initiative.
