Project Description: The public purpose of this project is to share bat population and status information with state and local conservation agencies along with park neighbors, thereby improving the lines of communication with these partners. The overall goal of this project is to promote recovery of white nose syndrome impacted bat species. The overall objective is to deliver interactive, engaging public programming concerning bat ecology and conservation. Providing these programs to park visitors will promote both adherence to conservation-based access and activity restrictions. This will equip the public with knowledge and incentives to engage in bat-friendly behaviors.
