Our workshops provide an opportunity to obtain experience with bat capture, handling, and monitoring field techniques required by agencies and professionals to fulfill a variety of research needs.
Our classes provide intensive training in capture and survey techniques using mist nets, harp traps, acoustic monitoring, and data analysis to perform surveys and inventories for bats. A Bat Hibernacula Management workshop features a unique introduction to cave and mine assessments which culminates in constructing a bat-friendly closure on an abandoned mine. A bat house workshop gives insight on why bats are in buildings, what makes a good bat house, and how to manage bats with artificial roosts. Few wildlife biology students in typical degree programs receive in-depth exposure to and training with these techniques.
