Who is this program for?
This training program was developed to raise awareness of the importance of proper management of bats in Canada.
Many of our bats are at risk because of human-caused threats. Some bats, including a species Endangered in Canada, use buildings as sites for resting and raising young and are at risk from improper or poorly timed exclusions. Becoming informed and following best management practices is one way you can help protect bats.
