Bat survey permission needed

[Jeff Frontz]

tl;dr: can we put a bat monitor on your property?  email jeff....@gmail.com if you're willing.

As part of the documentation of Walhalla wildlife (for use in lobbying for protection of Walhalla Ravine), folks from Discover Bats Ohio (https://discoverbatsohio.com ) are planning to do a bat survey (starting perhaps as early as next week). This involves the use of acoustic recorders on top of PVC poles.  We still need to nail down exactly where the monitors would be placed but there will likely be three different "stations"; each would be left in place for a week.  We will likely host one on our property, so we need two more spots.  If you'd be willing to allow a temporary monitoring station (that looks like this https://discoverbatsohio.com/#jp-carousel-215 ) to be placed on your property, please email me directly: jeff....@gmail.com 

You'll need to sign a form (basically authorizing the data collection -- this is required so that the data can be subsequently used in studies, reporting, etc.)

Save Walhalla!

Thanks!

Jeff

Hey Jeff,

I’m interested in bat monitoring. I put up a bat box a few years ago but haven’t seen one in it yet. Let me know of I need to do something

Thanks

Brett

Sounds intriguing. Yes, I am willing to host one on our property (198 Walhalla/199 E California). I have submitted my information on the email contact form and assume they will be getting back to me after the holiday (?).

Thanks for letting us know about this, Jeff. I'm delighted that such research is being done, and that we can help the process along. Can't wait to see what they learn!
