Webinar Series to Discuss Forest Management for Bats

Free tree seedlings available for all who participate in webinar

Cold winter evenings are giving way to the warmth of spring, meaning insects are back in the Iowa skies, along with the birds and bats that eat them.  But this year, like each of the last 10 or more years, there are fewer bats performing their nightly acrobatics in the shine of street lamps or the glow of moonlight over a stream or pond. The causes of the declines in bats – forest habitat loss and an exotic deadly disease called White Nose Syndrome – will be the focus of a webinar series hosted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach this May.
