January 23rd Nature Trackers Mini Series speaker:  TNT Biologist Craig Hensley

Gaining a better understanding of the distribution of more than 30 species of bats across a state the size of Texas is a daunting challenge. However, with the power of community science and Texas Master Naturalists, we can make headway in a significant and important way. Join TNT Biologist Craig Hensley for an introduction to the bats of Texas, their challenges and this new effort to better understand these flying mammals through acoustic monitoring. We are looking for Master Naturalists chapters and individuals interested in surveying bats in your area using acoustic monitors beginning this May. Specifically, we are looking for one individual in each participating chapter to help coordinate the effort within their respective chapter, members willing to put an acoustic monitor on their property and sharing those results with TPWD, and generally, individuals across the spectrum of TMNs interested in helping with data storage and analysis.
