Bat Boxes Coming to La Crosse News | July 26, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy They’re getting bat boxes in La Crosse. The Wisconsin DNR and the La Crosse Parks Department are teaming up to add bat boxes in Pettibone Park. The boxes are a natural fit for bats because it gives them a tight space to sleep, but the boxes are also necessary after recent floods pushed the bats out from their usual home under the bridge at the park. The DNR says the new boxes should have enough room for anywhere from 100 to 200 bats.
