Bats have numerous ecological and economic benefits including, for species in the northeast U.S., insect suppression and nutrient distribution. Yet the negative stereotypes and myths associated with bats can adversely affect efforts toward their conservation. Wildlife Biologist and Powdermill Volunteer, Julie Zeyzus will discuss species found in Pennsylvania and documented at Powdermill Nature Reserve, provide an overview of the challenges bats face, and discuss national strategies and applications for the backyard bat biologist that will contribute to the conservation of these important yet often misunderstood mammals.
