Join Gotham Bat Conservancy’s Citizen Science Projects!

Help scientists by participating in our citizen science projects!

More than half of our bat species in the United States are in severe decline or listed as endangered.

We need your help!

With your motivation to conserve bats, a mobile device, a print out, and a clip board, you will be able to help document bat species detections and their vital roost habitats. Your bat and tree surveying adventures can be solo, with your friends and family, or with a local community group that wants to help conserve bats. The data that you collect contributes to our research identifying and tracking bats and their available roost habitats over time!

Follow our social media pages for our citizen science bat and tree survey blitzes!
