Populations of the endangered Northern long-eared bat have been decimated all across New England due to the devastating effects of White-nose Syndrome. On Nantucket, however, our bats seem to be healthy and stable. Join Danielle O’Dell, Ecologist for the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, to learn about the research the Foundation is conducting on Northern long-eared bats on Island. Along the way, you’ll learn some bat natural history, dispel a few common myths and learn what you can do to help protect our bats!
