SUMMARY:CFRU Webinar: Considering Bats in Forest Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will begin with an overview by Dr. Erik Blomberg (University of Maine) of the ecology of tri-colored bats and their status as a species that has been recently petitioned for listing through the Endangered Species Act.
