Bat Week Kicks off in WI

Bat Week Kicks off in WI

It’s Bat Week in Wisconsin starting today.

The Department of Natural Resources says four out of eight native bat populations found are threatened in the state of Wisconsin. Another species, the silver-haired bat, is of special concern and needs immediate conservation action. The DNR says bat populations are declining partially due to white-nose syndrome, caused by a fungus that attacks bats while they’re hibernating. The department recommends planting native plants, building a bat house, and avoiding insecticides and herbicides to protect the remaining bats.
