Bats of New Hampshire Free Nature Presentation at the North Hampton Public Library

WONDERING WHAT’S UP WITH BATS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?

            North Hampton — Wondering what’s up with bats in New Hampshire? There’s a new disease that is affecting many of our bats, and scientists are hard at work across the Eastern U.S., hoping to understand the disease and help our bats. 

On Tuesday, July 1st, a volunteer from the Speaking for Wildlife Program will present “Bats of New Hampshire and White Nose Syndrome,” beginning at 7:00pm at the North Hampton Public Library.

This talk will give an overview of the different kinds of bats found in our state, where to look for them, and how landowners and homeowners can help conserve these fascinating mammals. It will also describe the impact of white-nose syndrome on New Hampshire’s bats and what scientists are learning about this threat.

            This program is free and open to the public.

            The Speaking for Wildlife Project is a volunteer effort of UNH Cooperative Extension, the NH Coverts Project and NH Fish & Game, with support from the NH Charitable Foundation and the Davis Environmental Foundation.
