Bat Monitoring Intensive

This intensive course provides specialized training in field methods used to identify, speciate, and monitor bat populations. Participants gain hands-on experience with acoustic monitoring, detector deployment, emergence counts, and survey design, along with an introduction to echolocation call characteristics and data interpretation.

Field-based instruction is paired with classroom sessions focused on equipment use, data management, and applied workflows used in consulting and research contexts. Participants work with industry-standard tools and protocols to simulate real-world monitoring scenarios.

This course is designed for individuals seeking to develop or demonstrate technical competency in bat survey methods for use in environmental consulting, research, and compliance-related projects.
