**Dianne Odegard and Lee Mackenzie founded Austin Bat Refuge in December 2015 with the mission of fostering respect for bats in their environment through education, conflict-resolution, rehabilitation, and release. Since then, they have taken in thousands of orphaned or injured bats; built a flight cage where rescued bats can safely recover; held education programs for Master Naturalists, school children, tourists, and more; and grown a network of bat advocates across Central Texas.
