Nashville Chapter Meeting: Bat Conservation in Tennessee

Dustin Thames will present a fascinating program about bat conservation in Tennessee. White-nose syndrome, which has caused the mortality of over 6 million bats in North America, emerged in Tennessee in 2010. Thames, who is past-chair of the TN Bat Working Group and a Regional Coordinator for Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), is an authority on this misunderstood species. Learn why bats are a conservation priority and how the TWRA and their partners are working to monitor bat populations and protect our state’s bats. Make plans to join us before the meeting at Jason’s Deli at 5:00 PM, next door to REI.
