Trevor Peterson, Senior Wildlife Biologist at Stantee, will discuss the findings of a recent nanotag study and post-construction monitoring studies at land-based wind projects and the data's impacts on the wind industry. Webinar materials will be available on MOWII’s website following the Webinar. The Northern Long Eared Bat is listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act The NLEB’s extensive range across the Eastern U.S. makes “takes” by wind turbines probable. In order to avoid the risk of legal action, wind project developers and operators would have to secure an Incidental Take Permit, which is a complex process that can take several years.
