Seminar: Bat Monitoring
This class will cover the different techniques of bat monitoring. Participants will learn about the scientific methods used in bat monitoring, including methods that require permits and also the ways to monitor that do not require permits such as acoustic, spot lighting and bat houses. The discussion will include Southern Nevada bats and their habitat.
