Meeting
The North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) Central Coordinating Office at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center is hosting a hybrid meeting in Fort Collins, Colorado this May. A lot has happened in the 8.5 years since “A Plan for the North American Bat Monitoring Program” was published and the 4.5 years since the NABat Partner Portal was launched. Efforts leading up to this point – where NABat has now amassed nearly 100 million records – have been focused on standing up the program. Now it is time to pivot focus towards strategic growth and improvement.
NABat sincerely values the input and participation from their partners and hope you are able to join. Due to space constraints, NABat is unable to extend an open invitation for in-person participation. NABat did their best to reflect the diversity of their partnering organizations and various partner roles in the list of invited in-person participants. This included working through the boards/executive committees of the regional bat working groups to solicit balanced representation.
