The principal objective of this report is to demonstrate that bats are cost-effective indicators of environmental quality. The specific objectives were:

  • To demonstrate how bat monitoring and environmental quality datasets can be linked
  • To show how new technology can incorporate more bat species and also non-bat species on present surveys cost effectively.
  • To strengthen volunteer involvement through development of a tailored, volunteer management database.
