Climbers for Bat Conservation is a collaborative partnership of climbers, bat biologists, and land managers designed to understand bat roosting ecology along cliffs. We are learning where bats roost and what species roost there.
Bats are an important part of the ecosystem and have been declining at an alarming rate because of threats such as white-nose syndrome. By learning where bats naturally roost, we can identify populations that are surviving and monitor them.
Climbers for Bat Conservation is with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to understand where bats roost along Washington’s cliffs.
If you wish to attend, please RSVP to Rob Schorr, CBC Director, at robert.schorr@colostate.edu if you would like to join us. Let us know of any dietary restrictions in the email.
Climbers for Bat Conservation will be purchasing food and drinks for the event (pizza, beer, soda, etc.).
