Acoustic Bat Monitoring Night

Wisconsin has seven species of bat, four of which are threatened and three are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need. With White-nose Syndrome threatening bats across much of the United States, there is no better time to assist in this citizen science opportunity. Join us to learn about Wisconsin’s bat species and how to conduct acoustic monitoring and bat roost monitoring surveys in the Chippewa Valley. To end the program we will step into the night and learn how to use the Citizen Science Center’s portable acoustic bat monitoring device to assist state bat biologists with collecting data about these misunderstood night flyers.
