Bat Walk
October 9, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Bats are extremely beneficial to forests and agricultural systems, as they consume large quantities of insect pests. A colony of big brown bats can consume about 600,000 cucumber beetles, 194,000 June beetles, 158,000 leafhoppers, and 335,000 stinkbugs per year! Yet, all species of CT bats, except for one, are either state or federally listed as a species of concern. So, how do we monitor these important, but nocturnal and volant species? We will learn one survey technique used by wildlife professionals: acoustic monitoring!
