Through hands-on experience, participants learn bat conservation and research techniques including netting, trapping, radio tracking, night-vision observation, and habitat assessment. (Rabies pre-exposure vaccination required for participants to handle bats.)

Since 1998, BCI has been co-sponsoring cave and mine gating workshops with the American Cave Conservation Association, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, California Department of Conservation, and many others. Evening lectures discuss gate designs relative to varied situations and bat species, how to recruit volunteers and partners, selection of materials and equipment, safety, and much more. By day, participants get hands-on experience measuring, moving, cutting and welding steel to construct bat-friendly gates built at nearby caves or mines.
For information on or to collaborate on co-sponsoring a gating workshop, contact us at caves@batcon.org, or mines@batcon.org, 512-327-9721.
