The Northern Long Eared Bat – What Proposed Listing May Mean For The Forestry Community. 

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has proposed listing the Northern Long-Eared Bat as Endangered under the ESA. Designation of Critical Habitat for the bat, accompanied by possible broad seasonal restrictions on operations, has the potential to seriously impact harvesting and other forest management operations.  Our speakers will review the proposed listing and provide a primer on bat biology and habitat requirements.  This is a serious issue for the forestry community throughout the entire eastern U.S.

  • Wende Mahaney - U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
