Note from LessonPlansPage.com: some of these lessons rely on a field trip to the Yuma (Arizona) West Wetlands to observe the endangered Yuma Bat and Clapper Rail population. If you do not live near this area, you might be able to adapt parts of this unit to match the bat population or endangered species in your area.
