🦇🐸 Attention Nature Enthusiasts!The Milk River Watershed Council (MRWCC) is embarking on an exciting venture, the *Wild Nights Monitoring Project*. We're inviting landowners and wildlife supporters to join us in an initiative to understand and protect our bat and amphibian populations, in particular the Little Brown Bat and the Northern Leopard Frog.Project Goals:- Create an inventory and distribution map of bats and amphibians in the Milk River Watershed.- Increase our understanding and preservation of these species and their habitats by filling knowledge gaps.- Continue to monitor for the presence of White Nose Syndrome in the Watershed.How You Can Make a Difference:- If your property has a wetland, stream, or riparian area, you can assist by allowing the MRWCC to survey and place acoustic monitors on your land for a brief period of time.- If you have a bat house or other structure that is actively used by bats you can help by allowing the MRWCC to sample for White Nose Syndrome. Benefits for Landowners/Participants:- Access to funding for habitat enhancement projects if site is determined to be important habitat for the target species of this project.- Participants will also receive "report card" that will include a species report, site assessment, and water quality report.Interested in joining or learning more?Contact Tyler Eresman at tyler@mrwcc.ca or (403)-647-4035Let’s come together to watch over our nocturnal allies! ...
