The National Park Service Species Inventories Program is offering a grant to conduct an inventory of bat species, including tricolored bats, their roost locations, and foraging habitats. This grant is for informing resource management at four key southeastern U.S. parks: Canaveral National Seashore, Fort Matanzas National Monument, Cumberland Island National Seashore, and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. The project aims to determine bat presence/absence in both natural habitats and selected structures within each park. Grantees will be expected to sample at least five sites per park, providing crucial insights for park managers. Projects typically span 12-18 months and require a comprehensive report as a deliverable. The program emphasizes collaboration with park managers to meet specific management needs.

| Description: | The National Park Service Species Inventories Program (https://www.nps.gov/im/species-inventories.htm) funds projects that address specific management actions underway or planned at a park and the timeline for these projects typically is 12-18 months, resulting in a standard set of deliverables including a report. Four parks in the southeastern United States need an inventory of bat species occurrence (presence/absence) particularly of tricolored bats and their roost site locations and foraging habitat. The parks are Canaveral National Seashore, Fort Matanzas National Monument, Cumberland Island National Seashore and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. Each park would like to understand bat presence/absence in natural habitat and selected structures. They anticipate a sample set of at least five sites at each park could be sufficient to provide insights to their management needs. Our project development workflows involve engaging park managers to clarify their needs. Once an agreement is in place, we coordinate project calls and assist with deliverables and product reviews. |
