NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife: Volunteers needed for Summer Bat Count

The Summer Bat Count was created in 2003 by the Conserve Wildlife Foundation and the state's Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP). This volunteer project relies on New Jersey residents to tell us where the bats are. So if you know of a place where bats roost in the summertime - like an attic, barn, bat house, church, or tree - then we'd love to hear from you! Starting in 2010, we are asking Summer Bat Count participants to conduct four bat counts per summer, between May 15 and August 10. Making sure you do all four bat counts will improve our ability to compare data from year to year and between sites.
If you know of a location where bats roost in the summer, or have questions about the program, please contact the CWF at 609-984-0621 or 908-782-4614 ext. 104. For more information visit ConserveWildlifeNJ.org or NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife.
