NASBR annually hosts a Teacher Workshop to engage with teachers in the local community. This year we will offer a pre-symposium workshop for meeting participants who are interested in bat outreach ideas. The workshop will be led by the NASBR Teacher's Workshop Coordinator, Veronica Brown, and will include community outreach ideas for both the general public and school groups, including some hands-on activities. Veronica will also discuss using bat walks as a tool to engage with local communities and using social media as an outreach opportunity.

As bat boxes become increasingly popular, there are questions about appropriate guidance. Can they be successful mitigation tools? How do we avoid creating ecological sinks? The development of this US-Canada Joint BMP is to occur in 2020, and input and assistance is being sought. Please join us to help advance this initiative. To facilitate the room booking at the restaurant, please RSVP Cori Lausen by Monday, October 21.
