This grant is for the purpose of significantly enhancing our understanding of bat populations and their critical hibernation sites across the Rocky Mountains. A key objective is to gather comprehensive data on bat distribution and to meticulously document areas where bats concentrate for hibernation. Furthermore, the project aims to thoroughly investigate the specific temperature and humidity conditions within these vital cave environments. The insights gained from this extensive research will be instrumental in strategically directing future survey efforts to detect White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) and will empower managers to develop and implement highly effective cave management strategies, ultimately safeguarding bat populations from the devastating impacts of WNS.

| Description: | This Cooperative Agreement is being awarded to The University of Montana under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit.
The tasks to be performed under this agreement are as follows: The objective of this project is to increase our knowledge of bat distribution and bat hibernation sites in the Rocky Mountains and to increase our knowledge about the temperature and humidity conditions in caves where bats are hibernating. This knowledge will be used to focus survey efforts for evidence of WNS and to allow managers to maximize the effectiveness of cave management to assist bats in avoiding the negative impacts of WNS. |
