An Emerging Threat: White-Nose Syndrome and Connecticut's Bats Christina J. Kocer - CT Department of Environmental Protection, Wildlife Division

Since the advent of the horror film, bats have been constantly used to set a creepy mood, their erratic flying and sharp teeth exaggerated and used to frighten us, and, Halloween would not be the same without their image. This portrayal has given these fascinating creatures an undeserved bad reputation. Bats are actually extremely beneficial creatures that should be welcomed and not feared. And, bats need our respect now, more than ever. Throughout the past 2 years, bats are being faced with the largest ecological disaster of our time. White-Nose Syndrome has been killing hundreds of thousands of bats throughout the northeast and is spreading at unprecedented rates. This presentation has been designed to provide some general information about bats of Connecticut, clear up many common misconceptions, and provide some information about what White-Nose Syndrome is, it's extremely rapid spread, and what is being done about it.

Pumpkin Festival

Seymour Land Conservation Trust will be at the Pumpkin Festival this year again Sept 19th, rain date Sept 26th. There will be a meeting on Sept 8th at 7pm for volunteers. Call Ann Conroy 888-6968 if you would like to help out.
