Bat Management Webinar

Bats are important parts of forested ecosystems but their populations are quickly declining due to a number of threats. This webinar will discuss why bats are important, some of the threats bats face, their legal status, and how this affects forest managers, and some things that forest and wildlife managers can do to help conserve bats.
