RANGELEY – The Sunday, July 13, nature program at Orgonon, the Wilhelm Reich Museum, on the Dodge Pond Road will be on “Bats” with Peggy Betts presenting.

Betts came to Oquossoc from New Jersey in 1982. She has been an EMT with the Rangeley Ambulance/Northstar EMS since 1989. She also teaches CPR and first aid. She enjoys camping, hiking, kayaking, gardening and has a house full of “critters.”

She has been interested in bats for years. Betts feels they have falsely earned a bad reputation and wants to educate people that they are interesting creatures. She finds the big flying fox especially interesting.

Participants will meet at the outdoor classroom at 2 p.m. and the program will be held rain or shine. All Sunday nature programs are free.

Visitors are invited to visit the observatory building, which details the life and work of physician/scientist Wilhelm Reich, whose interest in the natural environment led to the introduction of the Sunday nature programs in 1989.

The observatory is open 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday in July and August. In September, it is open 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays only. The adult admission fee is $6; children 12 and under, free. For more information, call the museum at 864-3443.
