Habitat for Bats

Research projects conducted by FBN include species inventories; population & activity monitoring; population management & experimental roost design.  General project locations include National Parks, National Forests, Conservation Areas & military facilities in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina &  the Caribbean.   (....See Research….)

Thanks to TNC volunteers, long-term  population research that began in 1993  continues.  Our research with the southern-most colony of southeastern big-eared bats (BEB) is among the most comprehensive in the country.  (....See Research….)

The FBN design was first approved by local bats in 1993 &  our bat house was one of the first certified as ‘Bat Approved’ by Bat Conservation International  (1999).  After 15 years our research continues and the design continues to improve … (See Bat Houses….)

Our New - Hurricane Resistant installation method was developed in cooperation with NASA engineers.
